THOMAS LYONS

THOMAS LYONS is originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee. He moved to the western foothills of North Carolina several years ago. Thomas spends much of his free time in local creeks and rivers, where he samples the water for smaller species such as darters. He developed a passion for native fish through maintaining captive fish in aquaria settings. This led to Thomas deciding to pursue a career in fisheries biology. Thomas is currently enrolled at Appalachian State University where he is working on earning a Bachelor’s degree in Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology.
