Cory Chick, a longtime Colorado Parks and Wildlife employee, is the new regional manager for the agency’s Southwest Region.
Chick’s experience with CPW is varied and includes previous leadership positions. He earned a degree in biology with an emphasis on wildlife from Adams State University. After college graduation in 2004, he was selected for CPW’s wildlife officer academy and became a district wildlife manager.
In 2010, he was named the area wildlife manager in Colorado Springs, where he served for more than three years. Most recently, Chick was the manager for the license, passes and reservation section.
Chick, originally from Texas, will move to the Durango area with his wife and two young children. The previous regional manager, Patt Dorsey, retired in February.
