Brian Fankhauser

Brian grew up in Williams, IA, pursuing catfish and smallmouth bass in the Boone River and wild turkeys and trout near Lansing with his dad. Readied with an Animal Ecology degree from Iowa State, Brian developed a passion for the prairie pothole landscape while with Hamilton County Conservation (along with an affinity for traditional archery), and later came to INHF. He now resides in Decorah with his wife and two children, and gets to work with passionate landowners and partners to help steward and permanently protect natural areas in northeast Iowa and around the state.
