A Vermonter his whole life, Gus grew up in nearby Charlotte, Vermont, and was introduced to birding at a young age by his parents. Gus found knowing the names of the colorful birds coming to his home bird feeders super cool, and fast forward to now, Gus is a rising sophomore at the University of Vermont studying environmental science. Gus is very excited to be a conservation intern this summer, and work on his bird banding skills and knowledge of ecology and conservation. Gus was first introduced to bird banding by Mark LaBarr as a junior at Champlain Valley Union High School while he started his graduation project, and has loved working Mark ever since then. Gus enjoys being outside in every season, and spends his time skiing, paddle boarding, fishing, mountain biking, hiking, and more. He also enjoys playing the piano, saxophone and drums, and hanging out with his Newfoundland dog, Flora.
