Description:

Jack has conducted research at FLBS since 1971 and became Director in 1980. His research and education activities have taken him all over the world but his heart is in the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem where he has worked on everything from microbes to grizzly bears. When not fully engaged in ecology he is steep and deep in the backcountry, fly fishing the flats, or climbing some ridge or another just to see what’s on the other side.
