In addition to his experience, he brings a real passion for protecting wild places to his new position, as well as the work ethic we need to continue to grow in Colorado. I’m really looking forward to seeing what he can accomplish.” Prior to starting his new position, Peyton was the senior range and wildlife conservationist for Quail Forever and Pheasants Forever in Utah.
