Nick's career focus has been in conservation biology and wildlife management.
He received a B.S. degree in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and M.S. degree from Colorado State University in Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology. Following my M.S. I served as an Avian Ecologist for the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies for 10 years where I oversaw avian monitoring and adaptive management efforts throughout Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. I completed my PhD research in Ecology at Colorado State University in the fall of 2022. As a postdoctoral ecologist at U.S. Geological Survey, I am building upon my PhD research which involved population modeling, trend estimation, habitat relationship development, and optimization procedures to help inform songbird management within pinyon-juniper and sagebrush ecosystems.
