Sam grew up traveling the world with his family with the United States Air Force. He was exposed to a variety of cultures and environments, which has led to his passion for protecting the world. In 2016, he received his bachelor’s in environmental science from Northern Arizona University and is currently there working on his master’s in climate science and solutions. He is excited to work on Flagstaff’s Climate Action Plan because he believes that it is important for cities across the nation to take preventative measures to address climate variabilities in the future. When he isn’t studying or working, he loves to cook, be outside, and watch movies.
