Tyson Rasor
Food and Fish Senior Program Manager
As the Fisheries & Food Systems Program Manager, I work at the intersection of community, fisheries, and food systems. I enjoy allying with communities and partners to support resilient value chains that enable growth of social, environmental, and economic wealth. Before coming to Ecotrust, I volunteered with the Peace Corps (2009-2011), where I worked with fishing communities in Morocco. That experience has been a strong influence on my values and drive to support community-based fisheries. I enjoy being outdoors and exploring the world or my own backyard, whether it be by foot, paddle, bike, or boat. Some of my favorite memories are made around the dinner table.
