Sam has continued to focus on outdoor education, joining the National Park Service as a Crew Leader for the Yellowstone Youth Conservation Corps and earning his Master’s in Environmental Management degree (Western Colorado University). Sam first joined Yellowstone Forever's team as a winter seasonal educator and became a permanent lead educator in 2022.
