About me
Born and raised a fourth-generation rancher in southern Idaho but left the family ranch to pursue a career in public land in his early twenties. Stuart always enjoyed learning about the ecosystems in the great basin and gained additional knowledge from Idaho State University while he earned his BS in Biology. Stuart has been doing fire/fuels for over 30 years throughout Idaho and Utah. Stuart retired from the USAR after serving 22 years and multiple combat deployments including Iraq and Afghanistan. Stuart enjoys spending time with his wife, their six grown children, gardening, growing ancient plants, working to improve forest health, and eliminating juniper, tamarisk, and weeds anywhere he can.
