Mike joined the Trust in 2018, immediately diving into some of our most pressing work: public lands grazing reform.

Mike is at home in southern Utah and says the Colorado Plateau is his favorite place on Earth. He seeks to ensure the well-being of all species that call the plateau home, and he envisions a future where we learn to live harmoniously with the land.
