John Gans joined the TRCP as Northeast field representative in early 2017.

A lifelong angler who grew up fishing the rivers and ponds of Vermont, his work is primarily focused on fisheries and expanding TRCP’s profile in the Northeast. An energetic communicator, Gans seeks to bring together and motivate like-minded sportsmen who support science and policy directed at sustaining abundant fisheries. He holds a BA from the University of Vermont, where he studied environmental advocacy. When he is not working on issues impacting recreational fishing, you can find Gans fishing for striped bass in his home waters of New York or traveling in pursuit of redfish, tarpon, permit, bonefish, bass, and trout.
