STEPHEN SURMACZ

STEPHEN SURMACZ grew up fishing for trout with his uncles in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania, and for smallmouth bass and northern pike with his grandparents around the Manitoulin Island in northern Ontario.  These experiences resulted in a lifelong passion for conservation of native gamefish, and stewardship of the natural environments that they inhabit.  Stephen remains an avid angler, and enjoys spending time outdoors hiking, kayaking, and boating.  He looks to use his more than 25 years of project management experience to further NFC's goals.
