Hi, I’m Jonathan—a lifelong outdoorsman, mechanically minded problem-solver, and a current student at Austin Community College (ACC) majoring in Wildlife Management & Conservation. I chose this path because I love the outdoors and want to help keep wild places healthy for future generations. I’m still exploring specific roles, but my goal is to use this journey to show my children that it’s never too late to learn and start a new path.
Skills
- Problem solver who enjoys breaking complex issues into simple steps
- Adaptable in new environments and able to adjust on the fly to get the job done
- Comfortable documenting processes and writing clear, practical instructions
***Projects & Accomplishments
***
- Backyard Pollinator Habitat & Vegetable Garden: Transformed a plain field into a pollinator-friendly mini-ecosystem and a productive vegetable garden—covering planning, soil prep, planting, and ongoing maintenance.
Repair Experience
I’ve completed repairs ranging from the simple to the complex—everything from replacing light bulbs to rebuilding a motor and wiring harness. I’m always open to learning new techniques and tools to expand my repair toolkit.
Accolades
- Safety Award: Recognized for safety performance while serving as a shop foreman.
Groups / Memberships
Currently exploring conservation and wildlife organizations in Texas; looking for the right fit as I progress through my studies.
Hobbies
If it’s outdoors, I’m in—hunting, hiking, wildlife photography, and floating the river. I especially enjoy teaching my children about nature and how we interact with wildlife every day.
How This Project Relates to Me
I think it will help me improve my technical writing and provide me with experience and confidence in my writing and communication ability.
***Fun Facts****
- I have a Blue Heeler named Blue—my best friend and frequent field companion.
- One of my favorite things is watching the woods wake up in the morning and then settle down again at dusk.
Thanks for stopping by my page! If you’ve got a repair tip, a conservation topic, or a tool recommendation, I’m always up for learning something new.
