Jack is a Durango native, but currently lives in California, where he is attending the University of Redlands for Environmental Science. Before his internship, he worked at a bike shop for five summers. He enjoyed it, but wanted to try something that would push him and advance his knowledge. In the summer of 2017 he joined MSI for the FC-FCLIP hydrology internship with the US Forest Service. His main academic interests are in the geosciences, research, data collection, GIS and earth systems and his hope is to focus on wetland environments. Outside or work you will most likely find Jack mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, road biking, and paddling. He loves it all.
