Today's interview will leave your heart feeling full. I had the pleasure of speaking with a gentleman I have looked up to for years. Mr. Mark Hostuttler works for the National Center for Cool and Cold Water Aquaculture (NCCCWA) as a biologist. He is affiliated with the Agricultural Research Service as well as the United States Department of Agriculture. We spoke about "being that needle in the haystack" to improve your environment, being proud of your work, and, of course, being proud to be a West Virginian. 💛💙 I hope you take his advice to heart as you listen to this interview!
