The Public Relations Society of America has posted a great introduction to Scott Gediman – a terrific guy, who also happens to be the assistant superintendent for public & legislative affairs at Yosemite National Park.
From the article:
Scott Gediman is the assistant superintendent for public & legislative affairs atYosemite National Park. He manages all of the park’s media relations, legislative affairs, special events and dignitary visits. He has been in this position since 1996 and is a 23-year veteran of the National Park Service (NPS).
Gediman grew up in North Hollywood, Calif., and holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism/public relations from San Diego State University. He and his wife Bethany, who is also a former National Park Ranger, live in the park with their two children.
Many visitors will descend on the park this summer, as all areas of the park will be accessible then, the weather will be warm and the wildflowers will be in bloom. Last year, Yosemite received 4 million visitors.
Have you always been interested in nature and the outdoors?
My family vacationed in Yosemite every year while I was growing up. I loved it and started backpacking while in junior high school. I’ve always loved the outdoors. I started with the National Park Service at Glen Canyon NRA in 1988 and transferred to Yosemite in 1996. Jobs in parks are competitive and I was thrilled to be selected for my position in Yosemite.
