Curt became interested in the fisheries field by working summer seasonal positions for both a private pond management company in southcentral Pennsylvania and then for the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission while completing his B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences at Penn State University. Upon completion of his undergraduate work, Curt relocated to Illinois where he completed his M.S. in Fisheries Management and Ecology at the University of Illinois. In 2008, Curt joined the Division of Wildlife as a Fisheries Biologist in District Three (northeast Ohio) and was in that position for about 10 years before promoting to the Fisheries Management Supervisor in District Three, coordinating of fisheries management activities in northeast Ohio.  He enjoys fishing and hunting with his two teenagers any chance they get. 

Curt has a lot of information to share with OCBS members. We are very fortunate to be able to learn about the latest news regarding the Ohio Steelhead program directly from a DOW Fisheries Supervisor. This will be another excellent meeting you will not want to miss. I hope you can attend.
