The ODFW:  An Overview, Hot Topics, and Opportunities.

Rick Hargrave started with ODFW in 2006.  He has served as the Deputy Administrator for the Information and Education Division at the Salem Headquarters office where he manages the marketing, web, graphic design, and information staff within the division. His primary responsibilities involve developing communication and marketing strategies and informational campaigns related to hunting, fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities in Oregon.

Prior to working for ODFW, Rick served in the United States Air Force as a public affairs officer, AFROTC instructor, and squadron commander. He retired after 26 years of service and returned to Oregon with his family—his wife Su and his son, Nate – to reunite with family and friends, and reconnect with two of his favorite pastimes, fishing and hunting.
