Speaker Bio: Jon Ewert is the Aquatic Biologist for Colorado Parks and Wildlife for Grand and Summit counties, a position he has held since 2007. As the managing biologist for all of the area’s fishery resources, he is heavily involved in multiple stakeholder groups and adaptive management processes that aim to maximize the aquatic ecological health of the area. A man of “too many hobbies,” in his spare time he loves traveling and backpacking with his family, playing music, skiing, reading, riding his bike on the back roads of Grand County, and wetting a line in the most difficult-to-reach places he can find.
