Conservation Program Manager
Steven joined the California Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1994 and had the privilege to serve on the first Americorps crew at the Del Norte Center. During that season he gained his love for working and living out doors. In 1998 he was selected for the Backcountry Trails Programs and served on the Yosemite II crew. He would continue working trails in Yosemite and Big Bend National Parks. After working on trail crews for a few season Steven was hired by the East Bay Conservation Corps as a Field Supervisor. Working with Corpmembers in the East Bay was a way to give back to the community that raised him. Steven was able to bring many of the lessons he had learned in the CCC and the Backcountry to the East Bay.
Prior to his 2018 return to Civicorps as our Conservation Program Coordinator, Steven had been working as a project manager with the Northern California Resource Center (NCRC). NCRC contracts with the US Forest Service to conduct riparian and fisheries studies throughout the Klamath National Forest. His knowledge of conservation projects and experience working with youth will serve to promote our mission well.
