Gage is a high school senior from Las Vegas, Nevada, passionate about environmental conservation and species preservation. Gage enjoys educating others (and learning more himself) about the importance of wildlife and natural habitat conservation, traveling to various renowned aquariums and exploring aquatic ecosystems firsthand, working out at the gym, snowboarding, volunteering at his local SPCA animal shelter, and learning more about marine mammals, particularly the southern sea otter- his favorite animal. While very interested in marine topics, Gage understands that some of the most pressing water-related issues (literally) hit much closer to home in the arid Las Vegas Valley. Gage is very excited about this opportunity to be an EarthEcho Water Challenge Ambassador and to work toward equitable, clean water access for humans and creatures alike alongside his fellow ambassadors by actively reducing pollutants in aquatic environments and educating others on the impacts of their actions and what they can do to help further this goal.

β€œIn the end, we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand and we will understand only what we are taught.”
