About me
Micah specializes in water resources, river and wetland restoration, remote sensing, and community outreach. Early in his career, he worked with farmers in the lower Columbia River basin on flood control and salmon restoration. He later taught ecology and environmental project management in Florida and Idaho. Having grown up helping on his family's orchards near Hotchkiss, Micah is dedicated to providing students with opportunities that benefit local farmers and ranchers. He also manages Western's Verzuh Ranch and serves on the boards of Coldharbour Institute and Gunnison County Libraries. In his free time, he enjoys hiking, paddling, nordic skiing, and playing piano with his family.
