Hans has over 20 years of experience working in state and local governments developing natural resource policies, managing salmon and aquatic habitat restoration projects, and conducting research in terrestrial and aquatic systems. He has expertise in leading project teams to conduct research and perform complex analyses, scope and implement restoration projects, develop salmon recovery plans, implement effective monitoring programs, complete fish passage improvement projects, and identify solutions to a variety of complex fisheries and environmental issues. He excels at working with multi-dimensional stakeholder groups to use science to address pressing natural resource challenges.
