Eric Robertson started with WisCorps in August 2021 as the Director of Conservation Corps Programs. Before coming to WisCorps, Eric and his fiancé were thru-hiking the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. Eric grew up in Madison, Wisconsin but had been out west living and working in California for the better part of a decade. More recently, he worked for the American Conservation Experience, another non-profit corps, as the Pacific West Director and was responsible for developing models and launching programs based in California, Oregon & Hawaii. Eric got his start in conservation corps as a AmeriCorps member in 2012 and then transitioned into a wilderness Crew Lead before pursuing AmeriCorps program support and non-profit administration. He holds a Bachelor’s degree of Fine Arts in Photography from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. 
 
When not at WisCorps, Eric enjoys backpacking; cross-county skiing, and hiking with his partner, Jenny. 
 

Kevin Rossi was born and raised in the great state of Michigan; (mid)west coast = best coast! After receiving his bachelors degree in Cinema Art and Science from Columbia College Chicago, Kevin spent several years as a manager at a movie theater before, looking for a change, he typed “Montana outdoor jobs” into Google. Four corps and five states (MT, ME, MA, CO and NH) later, Kevin just can’t seem to leave the woods, and is excited to continue his career in conservation back in the Midwest alongside a great staff at WisCorps.

When not out in the field, Kevin enjoys playing the ukulele, reading a good book, and making others laugh.

Paul began his conservation journey as a Crew Member with WisCorps in the spring of 2017. What was meant to be six weeks of service has turned into a five-year career with conservation non-profits. A Crew Leader position with the Arizona Conservation Corps brought him to Tucson, where his deep appreciation for the saguaro cactus flourished. Paul then worked as an Outreach and Donor Programs Coordinator from 2019 to 2021 with the Upper Valley Land Trust in Hanover, New Hampshire, exploring the White and Green Mountains on the weekends. He returned to Tucson in March of 2021 to join the Tucson Audubon Society Invasive Plant Strike Team. After developing his restoration skills and creating strong bonds with several amazing coworkers, he returned to the organization that began his journey in conservation. Paul was proud to begin his work as Crew Program Manager at WisCorps in March of 2022, fulfilling a dream of returning to WisCorps as a Conservation Corps staff member.

She is excited to head up WisCorps' Individual Placement Program!
