My first interview question with Herrera was “Where do you like to go fishing and hunting in Alaska?”  I knew then that this would be a great place to work.  Not only because we enjoy what the outdoors has to offer but that we are dedicated to protecting and preserving those resources.  I’ve enjoyed the flexibility of being able to work on projects from river restoration to solid waste facilities. Outside of work, you’ll find me consumed by my next real estate project or off to Alaska for another fly fishing trip.

Favorite Quote:
"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." - Henry David Thoreau
Favorite Species:
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Trout fishing has been the one source of excitement that has stuck with me since my first memories of a child in Montana, through my time in Alaska, and now Washington.
