Editor, The Osprey

Since 2001, I have served as editor of The Osprey, a journal published by the Federation of Fly Fishers Steelhead Committee that provides in-depth coverage on the science and management of wild steelhead and Pacific salmon. The Osprey is feature oriented, with articles contributed by researchers, natural resource managers, conservationists and others with expertise in steelhead and salmon management, politics and science. The Osprey's goal is to keep people interested and involved in conserving wild steelhead and Pacific salmon, and up to date on the latest research, management techniques, politics and opinions affecting these native fish. 

In 2012, The Osprey received the Haig-Brown Award for excellence in fisheries journalism and communications. The Haig-Brown Award was established in 1981 to recognize those who have produced outstanding non-technical articles or publications on any aspect of fishery management, research, habitat protection, enhancement or other related fields.
