I am an incumbent rural representative for the Laramie Rivers Conservation District, having served 6 years on the board of Supervisors. I am the manager of a large Wyoming-based agricultural operation with involvement in all aspects of beef production. I manage a number of ranches across the region and represent agricultural interests in Albany County. I enjoy furthering the conservation of all of Wyoming's natural resources.

I am running to give back to my community and Albany County. I have previously worked for the University of Wyoming Extension for 12 years where I provided education and information for Wyoming citizens related to agriculture and horticulture issues in Wyoming. I worked in northeast Wyoming and in southeast Wyoming. My education includes two degrees in rangeland ecology and watershed management from the University of Wyoming. I currently work for the University of Wyoming.
The top three issues facing Albany County in no set order of importance are: 1)Increased land disturbance to native rangeland systems within the district. 2) Increased demand and use of water resources within the district. 3)Loss of intact and productive agriculture land systems that provide ecological products and services to citizens. There is not enough room to go into great detail here, but it is important that the district help provide expertise and education for proposed and current projects that impact the natural resources with the LRCD boundaries. There are many irrigation infrastructure needs that could be addressed and potentially fixed. It is important that LRCD continue to partner with other entities and groups on projects.
I feel that the partnerships LRCD has been a part of are very important. These partnerships have included projects related to habitat management such as conifer removal, stream restoration, and habitat improvements to grazing lands through improved grazing management plans. LRCD has been helpful when partnering with irrigation improvement projects and working with individual landowners for projects. I want to see many of these partnerships and collaborations continue in the future for new and upcoming projects.
It is important to me that LRCD work and collaborate with other entities and groups when considering proposed Community Enhancement Grants. I like to see the benefit of grants for as many people as possible.
