Andrew Ackerman, Board Member
Andrew was raised in rural southern Vermont. His gaze turned west after
high school and in 1991 began undergraduate study at Lewis & Clark
College in Portland, OR. After a hiatus travelling the country with the
Audubon Expedition, he finished his degree at The Evergreen State
College in 1995. Throughout the 90's Andrew was a seasonal employee of
the National Parks Service in Washington and Alaska and an outdoor
educator. In 1998 he returned to school to pursue a graduate degree in
planning from WSU. During his two years in Pullman he became involved
in leading stream restoration projects on the Palouse (and first became
aware of PCEI). In the summer of 1999 Andrew was selected to particpate
in a international environmental exchange program called Tahoe-Baikal
Institute and spent half the summer travelling in Siberia. In 2000
Andrew met his now wife Wakana and they moved to California. After 2.5
years in the bay area Wakana was offered a job back at WSU, and
realizing that the Palouse was an ideal place to raise a family, jumped
at the opportunity to move back. Andrew and Wakana now live with their
two daughters Kira and Emma in Moscow. Andrew works as a Planner for
the City's Community Development Department. Andrew enjoys hiking,
biking, snowboarding, and swimming as well as reading and listening to
good music.
