Thanks so much for the "virtual" introduction, Julie.

I've heard so many great things about the Friends of the Sandia Mountains and look forward to working with you all. We are extremely grateful for your support of the Sandia Ranger District and this mountain range, which is a treasure to so many in our community and beyond.

Good afternoon -

Please join me in welcoming Ken Born as our new acting Sandia District Ranger. Ken will begin his detail on Monday, October 6.

The following is a bit of background on Ken.

Ken kicked off his federal career in 1996 as GS-1 STEP student, serving as a fisheries biologist aide with the US Army of Corps of Engineers. After spending a decade working as a land use planner in various capacities with Monterey County, CA; the Central Pine Barrens Joint Planning and Policy Commission on Long Island, NY; and Multnomah County, OR - he made the jump to federal service permanently in 2010. Ken went to the Regional Office in 2018 from the Coronado National Forest, where he served as a District Ranger. Prior to that, he was on the Tonto National Forest, where he was the Forest Planner. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in environmental planning from Northern Arizona University, and a Master of Arts degree in public policy from Stony Brook University. Born and raised in Tucson, AZ, Ken lives in Albuquerque with his wife, two daughters, dog, and cat - and feels extremely lucky for the opportunity to continue to live and work in the Southwest.

We are very excited to have Ken join our team and look forward to working with him.
