Shawn graduated from Central Washington University with a B.S. in Geology, and joined ELS in 2020 working as a Biologist. One year later he transitioned to become one of our field technicians. While he worked as a biologist, he gained a great deal of experience with wetland delineations, and knowledge of plant species as well as invasive species. Shawn is a Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Lead (CESCL), and routinely provides field maintenance duties on multiple riparian, mitigation, and restoration projects.
