Amos Morris’ parents earned master’s degrees at a time when that accomplishment was considered exceptional, so he is keenly aware of the powerful influence of “firsts”.   In a career spanning more than 30 years across 7 zoos in the United States; Amos became the first Black Zoo Director at an Association of Zoos & Aquarium (AZA)-accredited zoo, the first African-American to be elected to the AZA Board of Directors, and is currently the first Black Zoo Director at the Milwaukee County Zoo.  Out of the 240 zoos and aquariums across the country, there are only 3 other Black professionals in a director position.  He doesn’t take for granted that a person of color could have their career interests in zoos sparked by seeing a face that looks like theirs.   As a kid who grew up watching TV shows like Wild Kingdom and having pets that ranged from turtles to rabbits, Amos knew he’d have a career working with animals.   He pivoted from pursuing a Marine Science degree at Hampton University when the classes conflicted with the football training schedule to graduating with a degree in Animal Science from the University of Missouri. Amos’ career has taken him on ecotourism, conservation, and animal care projects to places like Namibia, Tanzania, Peru, and Greece.  An outdoorsy gentleman with a stout presence, sweet smile, and measured tone; Amos sets out every day to be extraordinary for the animals, his staff, and the millions of guests who enter the zoo gates.  Oh, and he has never had a single drop of alcohol in his entire life.   #careerpodcast #blackpodcast #zoo #zoological #nonprofitleadership  AMOS MORRIS https://www.linkedin.com/in/amos-morris-14ab6262 MILWAUKEE COUNTY ZOO https://milwaukeezoo.org ASSOCIATION OF ZOOS & AQUARIUMS https://www.aza.org ASSOCIATION OF MINORITY ZOO & AQUARIUM PROFESSIONALS https://www.amzap.org CANOPY STRATEGIC PARTNERS https://canopysp.com CONTACT US: [email protected] --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wiseandwine/message

“I Totally Forgot that I Wanted to be a Scientist” with Alan Valera Alan grew up in The Cornhusker State, which must’ve been quite a cultural shift for his parents who immigrated from Mexico.  Like most people who pack up and leave their home country, Alan’s parents wanted a better life for their family.  They worked hard on a hog farm while their kids enjoyed the calm of living in wide open spaces and possibilites in Nebraska.  Watching “Animal Planet” influenced his childhood dream of becoming a scientist, but science took a back seat as Alan became more consumed by the pursuit of athletic excellence than elephants.   Alan earned a teaching grant and became the teacher his parents not-so-secretly wanted him to become.  But the pandemic and its impact on this students, the curricula and his mental health left Alan with a strong desire to make a shift.  He purchased a “Scuba Diving for Dummies” book, practiced holding his breath underwater, and booked a flight to Costa Rica for a 3-month scuba diving internship.  Rich Coast Diving offered the most value for their PADI Zero to Hero program where Alan went from became became a scuba Dive Master.  Oh, and he had never swam in the ocean before he arrived in Costa Rica. #divingfamily #richcoastdiving #divemaster #divemastertraining #scubadiving #PADIzerotohero #costarica #PADIpro --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wiseandwine/message
