Yay Kevin!

The saying goes – “Love what you do, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” To some, it’s just a saying, but to Kevin Narum it’s something he lives out every day.

When you’re with Kevin or listen to him speak about his work, it’s easy to see and hear that he loves what he does. He’s one of the most talented herpetologists we have here in Mississippi. His range of knowledge and appreciation on everything from the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, Black Pinesnake, to Gopher Tortoises and Hellbender salamanders is remarkable. But it’s also a vital asset for the work we conduct in partnership with Camp Shelby and others across the state.

So join us in congratulating Kevin on celebrating 8 years now with our team here in Mississippi.
