Drawing inspiration from his travels and home in the Pacific Northwest, Colin is driven to conserve wildlife and habitat across the U.S.

Originally from Virginia, Colin moved to Liberty County, Texas, after college to work as an AmeriCorps volunteer. Later, Colin obtained a Master's degree in Security Studies from Georgetown University, served in the Marine Corps, and worked as a government contractor in Washington, D.C. During this time, he was lucky to travel throughout Africa, Asia, and Europe. Colin then moved to Oregon and received a law degree from Lewis & Clark Law School with a certificate in environmental and natural resources law. Colin is admitted to the Oregon State Bar.

Colin lives in Portland, Oregon, and enjoys traveling to new places throughout the West.
