The National Park Service has selected Jeremy Curtis to serve as the next superintendent of Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve. He replaces Vicki Snitzler, who retired in May after 32 years with the Park Service. Curtis has more than 20 years’ experience working with the Park Service. He comes to Oregon Caves from Saguaro National Park in Arizona, where he is currently the chief of maintenance. In that job, he oversees a complex portfolio of locations and park assets, working with all divisions as well as outside agencies and other partners. “I am honored to be selected to lead a team that preserves not only the geological and natural resources of Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve but also the history and culture that has helped shape the park,” Curtis said in a release. “I look forward to working with the dedicated staff, park partners and the local community in the continued preservation of the park.” Curtis began his career working on backcountry trail crews at Yellowstone National Park. After holding several seasonal positions in parks such as Big Bend National Park in Texas, City of Rocks National Reserve in Idaho, Chiricahua National Monument and Saguaro National Park in Arizona, Curtis settled in Arkansas at Buffalo National River for several years. In 2005, Curtis moved back to Arizona where he has held positions at several Arizona parks as a trails supervisor and then as chief of facility operations for the Southeast Arizona Park Group.
