In college, Connor discovered he could use science and his geologic knowledge to help improve the surrounding communities and their relationship with the natural environment. After graduating with a degree in Earth Sciences, Connor conducted environmental fieldwork for the 2020-2021 Oregon wildfire cleanup project, led by the Oregon Department of Transportation, where he aided in asbestos surveys, air monitoring, and soil testing for heavy metals at properties affected by the fire. Since joining MFA, Connor’s geologic expertise has expanded to environmental investigation and remedial projects, hazardous building material surveys, drilling and well installation oversight, and storm and wastewater sampling.

What is your go-to weekend hobby?

Braving the elements outdoors or sheltering from them indoors. Outside, I enjoy climbing rocks, running trails, and expanding my mineral collection by exploring new places. Inside, I often find myself climbing walls, reading, or deep in thought, piecing together puzzles.
