Adam Zambie - President

Adam currently serves as the president of the Portneuf Student Subunit of the American Fisheries Society. He is graduate student in the Loxterman/Keeley Labs at ISU studying fish ecology and conservation genetics. His thesis research centers around the question of "How much stream is enough", taking him to rivers and creeks across northern Nevada and southwestern Idaho measuring how much habitat native trout have versus how much genetic diversity they've been able to retain. Adam comes from Texas where he got a bachelors degree in Environmental Science from UT Austin and worked as a marine fish ecophysiology researcher before coming to graduate school in Idaho. From the Central Texas limestone creeks he grew up with, to the snow fed mountain streams he works in now, the importance of free flowing waters and the creatures that inhabitat them have remained a constant in his life.


Tyler Breech- Treasurer

Tyler originally hails from Pennsylvania, where he received his undergraduate degrees. After Pennsylvania, he did a Master’s in Biology at the University of Mississippi before returning to Pennsylvania to run a county 4-H program for almost two years. Tyler was accepted to ISU in the Loxterman/Keeley labs and has been here since summer of 2019. 


Carson King - Vice President

Carson is our vice president and 2nd in command. A geology undergraduate student at ISU and a whitewater guide in the academic offseason, he is no stranger to riverine ecosystems and can read water with the best of them.

Evan Bilbrey - Secretary

Evan adds a nice biogeochemistry flair to our organization. A wizard with R coding and modeling nutrients in watersheds (info key to those that love fish), Evan is a graduate student in the Lohse lab at ISU studying intermittent streams. Evan earned his undergraduate degree from Montana state and spent time working at Flathead Biological Station before graduate school.
