Josh has been with the District since 2014. His responsibilities include measuring and reporting on water quality and quantity across the District including in lakes, streams, BMPs, stormwater ponds, and wetlands, as well as monitoring and managing aquatic invasive species and coordinating fisheries monitoring.

Josh's favorite part of his job is that he does something different every day as we manage, protect, and restore our water resources. He enjoys the challenges in managing water resources as it is constantly changing and can shift as we manipulate certain aspects. Working with a great team that is dedicated to the District is also a plus! In his free time, he enjoys hunting, fishing and spending time with his family.
