Professional Values

I. Regarding Character

I believe in...

  • Integrity, that a person should stand by the word that s/he gives;
  • Fairness, that one should treat others as they would desire to be treated;
  • Respect, that irregardless of status, race, culture, beliefs that one should be treated with respect and dignity.

II. Regarding the Environment

I believe that...

  • Development and resource extraction is inevitable; however, it should be done in a controlled manner;
  • Species as risk should be given priority. Mistakes are easily prevented but difficult to undo;
  • Knowledge about a species/ecosystem/process is critical in making well informed decisions and sound knowledge and data need to be present to make such a decision;
  • Any sort of advocacy must be done so in a legal way. I do not believe in undertaking in illegal activities to strong arm government or companies;
  • Our environmental conscious has grown as a society, but still has room to continue to expand;
  • We are all stewards of the earth, that due diligence must be taken to ensure that outdoor experiences that we have now will be also avaliable for future generations.
