Stefan grew up in South Central PA, where he caught the birding bug as a teenager.  Following his passion for birds and the outdoors he received his undergraduate degree in Ithaca College for undergrad, and a Masters in Conservation Biology  at SUNY ESF in Syracuse.  During his formative years he was a field technician studying Golden-winged Warblers in southern New York, and Seaside Sparrows on Long Island.  After grad school, Stefan returned to central Pennsylvania as a Pheasants Forever biologist working with local farmers to create wildlife habitat on private lands, mainly converting cropland to grassland habitat.  In 2022 he took a position with the Game Commission as the avian recovery biologist working on statewide initiatives to recover Pennsylvania’s declining bird species.  He enjoys birding, hiking, camping, and planting wildflower meadows in his local area.
