Kortney Kirkeby
Ecologist
Much of my childhood was spent outdoors observing, collecting, and understanding the natural world. This early passion led me to study biology, communications, and environmental engineering, and ultimately to integrate them into my career in aquatic ecosystems. I have had great opportunities to work with outstanding people and manage large-scale projects across the U.S. I am passionate about delivering high-quality work products that meet and exceed expectations.

Kort joined PG Environmental (a division of ERG) in 2011, where he has served as PG’s ecological services program manager, responsible for managing multiple field monitoring projects, including support for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, and state contracts.
