Environmental scientist by trade, environmental steward by lifestyle. I grew up as an individual striving to find purpose in all ventures I pursued. I derived a passion for the environment in search of that purpose and found where my impact in this world is set to take place.
In lieu of my temporary time with the City of Austin as an Environmental Scientist, I had the opportunity to serve my community directly on numerous projects involving the City of Austin. These projects involved community impacts of cyanobacteria, plant and animal health as a resultant of changing climate conditions, environmental impacts of homelessness, and growing trash concerns of a growing city to name a few.
As a black male I seek to continue my work as an Environmental Steward as I look to educate and motivate others in of all communities to become stewards and stewardess themselves.
