Ichthyologist and conservationist
Bo had worked with Conservation Fisheries on and off from 1989 to 1999 and, after a “brief” diversion with the Tennessee Valley Authority, returned for good in 2020.
He started his career in the endangered fish propagation business while working in the back room at Aquatic Specialists, the aquarium store, which would later become CFI. Bo earned a B.S. in Zoology in 1993 and an M.S. in Zoology in 1996, both from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville while studying under renowned ichthyologist Dr. David Etnier. For his Master’s thesis, he cataloged fish species in the Upper Cumberland River system in Tennessee.
Bo can usually be found coordinating work with CFI partners, creating plans to improve the efficiency, or discovering systems that allow CFI to more easily collect and record significant data. Bo has been a catalyst for change in this organization, pushing to modernize and reach for new heights.
