From his interview:

“I wanted to serve my country and serve this resource, to be an expert on this resource, and I’m afraid for what’s to come if this position doesn’t get refilled.

“I wanted to do on-the-ground work, not be some Ph.D. in an ivory tower. I hate that. I got my Ph.D. to be able to have the skills to do this job.”

“I would really like my job back, but I worry about the Public Lands Office being able to do the right thing for the public and the community.”

We want Ryan back in his job, too. We have a wide variety of resources here in Southwest Colorado that need to be protected – our wild horses included.
