Our Staff
NICK FASCIANO, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
A dedicated advocate for Idaho’s wildlife and habitat, he brings a wealth of experience to the role. He previously served as the head of policy for the Idaho Chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, where he worked closely with IWF staff in the Idaho Legislature to ensure the voices of sportsmen and women were heard by our elected representatives.
Nick has been an active partner on a range of priorities central to IWF’s mission. He has advocated for the recovery of Idaho’s wild salmon and steelhead runs, worked to push land management agencies to include the latest science on wildlife migration corridors in land use decisions, and has been a consistent defender of public access to Idaho’s abundant public lands and waters.
An avid hunter and angler, Nick is based in Boise where we is working to get his young lab, Corbett, ready for bird season.
Garret grew up on the coast of South Carolina where his earliest memories were coaxing outboards to run and fly fishing in the saltwater marches behind his home. He received a B.S. in Wildlife Biology with a focus on aquatics from the University of Montana and a Master of Studies in Environmental and Natural Resource Law from Lewis & Clark College in Oregon. Garret has worked as a fly fishing guide across Western Montana and the Bob Marshall Wilderness. He has worked collaboratively with landowners and public land managers to restore big game migration corridors that were blocked for decades.
Garret’s passion is chasing around bird dogs on wild birds, and he is rarely found on the river or in the field with one of his dogs by his side. Because of Garret’s passion, he is an effective advocate for public lands and works to elevate the voice of sportsmen and women to better the future of wildlife management decisions. He enjoys training bird dogs, fly fishing, hunting, and enjoying the West’s vast public land opportunities.
GARRET VISSER, Conservation program director
Kyle grew up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula where he spent many of his waking hours either hunting, fishing, or trapping in the forest or on the water surrounding his home. He then took his love for the outdoors to Michigan State University where he received a B.S. in Fisheries and Wildlife with a concentration in Fisheries Biology and Management. Since then, his work experience includes habitat restoration crew leader, fishing guide, fisheries technician for IDFG, stone mason, concrete worker, and carpenter, to name a few.
Since moving to Idaho, he has made the most of the abundant and varied big game hunting and fishing opportunities across the state. Along with hunting and fishing, he also enjoys hiking and camping with his wife and two young children.
KYLE MAKI, NORTH IDAHO FIELD REPRESENTATIVE
Rebecca grew up hunting and fishing with her dad in the Sierra Nevada mountains. As an adult, she and her husband passed the passions on to their children. While raising her kids, she worked with the High Adventures Training (HAT) Team for the Boy Scouts of America and taught Wilderness Survival, OKPIK, and backpacking to adult leaders.
These days, her love for the outdoors keeps her on the trails either running, hiking, or snowshoeing, depending on the season. Rebecca has been working in the development field since 2010 and now focuses on the conservation of Idaho’s wildlife, public lands, and sportsmen and women’s rights.
Besides pursuing outdoor activities, Rebecca enjoys time with her husband and their two dogs, Daisy a mellow lab and Bleu, a not so mellow Dutch Shepherd.

JORDANNE STETTER, COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR
An Ohio native raised in South Texas, Jordanne grew up exploring the outdoors with her family, sparking a lifelong passion for wild places and wildlife. She earned a B.S. in Agricultural Leadership and Development from Tarleton State University, with minors in Animal Science and Business, before heading north to South Dakota to begin her career in public land conservation.
Over the past several years, Jordanne has worn many hats - hunting and rafting guide, crew leader for habitat restoration in Minnesota, and program manager for a Texas A&M Center to name a few - gaining hands-on experience across a range of field-based conservation efforts.
In 2023, she followed her passion to Idaho, working on a graduate project focused on virtual fencing on public land, ultimately leading to a position with IDFG as a wildlife technician, where she primarily supports Bighorn Sheep research in collaboration with the Idaho Wild Sheep Foundation.
Outside of work, Jordanne is an active member of several outdoor recreation and conservation organizations and spends her free time fishing, rafting, and exploring with her dog, Harper.
