Brian Barton- Board Chairman 2020
I graduated from the Wildlife program at HSU in 1982 and live in Carnelian Bay CA. I retired in 2015 as Captain after a 30 year career with the Ca Department(s) of Fish and Game and Parks and Recreation. I'm currently a Retired Annuitant Ranger with the OHMVR Division of Ca State Parks and am an avid waterfowler and birder. I am a multiple term past president and treasurer for CUAA. It is my dream that more HSU wildlife graduates learn about CUAA so that they can help mentor and support the next cohort of wildlife professionals coming up.
