I have been married for 10 years to my wife, Tereasa. We have a six-year-old son, Jordan. I am the area manager for the marine mammal department at the Indianapolis Zoo and have worked there for the past twenty-one years. Working at the zoo has given me many opportunities to visit sites from Spain to Alaska and meet people from all over the world.
My goal for this experience is to learn new or improved ways to educate my local community about environmental concerns and what they can do.
In five years I see a world that is taking action to protect the future, taking to heart the words – reduce, reuse, and recycle. I see myself continuing to try and make the world a place that my son wants to live in, one where there is still the opportunity to see wild animals in their natural habitats.
