Ryan Jonnes

Non Forest Service

Ryan Jonnes stands outside; behind him is bare red dirt and grassland.

The great outdoors has had a lasting impact on my life. The outdoors has shaped my hobbies, work, and family. I like to fish, hunt, camp, and hike. In 2005, I took a biological science technician job that changed my life. During this job with the Forest Service, I realized that I wanted to make New Mexico my home. I have held several wildlife jobs, but one thing has remained constant. I have focused my career on the conflicts between humans and wildlife. I have worked to protect wildlife while balancing the effects of industries like timber, livestock grazing, and oil and gas. Currently, I manage large, privately owned ranches for the sustainability of wildlife in southeastern New Mexico.
