Our Staff
Nick is a dedicated advocate for sportsmen-led conservation and science-based wildlife management. An avid hunter, Nick believes that hunters and anglers must continue to play a leading role in shaping conservation policy to ensure Idaho’s wildlife, wild places, and sporting traditions endure as Idaho grows as a state.
He is a firm believer that a strong, united community of sportsmen and women is essential to keeping hunters’ values at the center of the conservation conversation. Conserving public lands and public access, defending hunters’ rights, and maintaining the wildlife abundance that sustains Idaho’s hunting heritage are core priorities of his work, and we need our sporting community united in order to ensure these goals are achieved.
Nick is based in Boise. He enjoys pursuing elk, mule deer, black bear, turkey, and other big game across Idaho, and is continually working to sharpen his upland and waterfowl skills alongside his young lab, Corbett.

Kyle Maki
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.
Sporting Partnerships and Policy Manager
Jordanne grew up roaming South Texas, where an early love for wildlife and the outdoors took root. She earned a B.S. in Agricultural Leadership and Development from Tarleton State University, with minors in Animal Science and Business.
Over the years, she's worn many hats - hunting and rafting guide, habitat crew leader, and program manager at a Texas A&M Center - gaining experience across a range of field-based efforts. In 2023, her passions led her to Idaho, where she worked on a virtual fencing public lands study before joining IDFG as a wildlife technician. She now supports Bighorn Sheep research in collaboration with the Idaho Wild Sheep Foundation.
Jordanne is based in Salmon and spends her free time hunting, fishing, rafting, and exploring with her dog, Harper.

Communications Coordinator
Jason grew up in western Oregon where he spent his free time exploring the wild, publicly owned lands of the coastal and Cascade mountain ranges as a hunter, angler and backpacker. Later on in high school, he increasingly began to cast his gaze inland to the mountains and canyon country of northeastern Oregon. These adventures ultimately culminated in his move to Idaho, drawn by the state’s wild central core and its abundant wildlife and fisheries and awesome potential for backcountry exploration.
Jason is first and foremost a storyteller. For the past two decades, he has explored what it means to be a westerner, outdoorsperson and voice for wild public spaces as a writer, journalist and filmmaker. He is especially passionate about the possibilities of collaborative conservation in bringing people together around complex natural resource issues. Jason was a co-founder of Boise-based backcountry hunting brand Argali, and led its filmmaking efforts from its founding in 2015, through 2025.
Jason lives in Boise with his wife Elizabeth, their two boys Bridger and Leopold and their birddog Rue, a pudelpointer. They enjoy rafting, camping and other outdoor adventures together across the West and beyond.
