Braeden grew up in North Vancouver, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountains of British Columbia where he spent his youth hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, and fishing. Braeden attended the University of Illinois at Chicago where he completed his B.Sc. in Earth and Environmental Sciences, followed by a M.Sc. in Biological Resources from the Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences in Germany where he completed his thesis on the effects of beaver dams on hydrology and water quality in streams.
He is excited to be joining the Living Lakes Canada team as a Water Monitoring Technician for the Columbia Basin Water Monitoring Framework as well as helping to support the operations of the Columbia Basin Water Hub database. Braeden currently lives in Invermere.
