Re-booted small, legacy non-profits working on watershed health initiatives that were treading water and not "moving the needle." I carefully yet dynamically developed strategy, focus, staff expertise, board of directors capacity, and external relationships to generate momentum on developing, implementing, stewarding, and monitoring large-scale ecological restoration projects to improve conditions for native plants and wildlife and ecosystem services that enhance communities in Josephine and Jackson Counties.Since 2015, the staff has grown from two to five, and the annual budget from $350,000 to $2.4 million.

I predominantly developed and implemented instream habitat restoration projects focused on improving conditions for native fishes, especially salmon and steelhead. Many of these projects involved the removal of fish passage barriers including Gold Hill Diversion and Gold Ray dams, and I represented native fish conservation issues in negotiations to remove four dams on the Klamath River. Lastly, I worked on developing community-level climate change adaptation plans for the upper Deschutes River and Klamath River basins.
