Dr. Benedict is an accomplished biologist, whose academic areas of expertise include environmental science, conservation genetics and molecular biology. Much of his original research focused on the development and use of novel molecular tools to address taxonomic and population level uncertainties which were fundamental to developing sound wildlife conservation and management strategies. Many of these necessitated the development of complex research collaborations among multiple federal, state, non-governmental agencies and organizations, as well as within the private sector.

Dr. Benedict has an extensive background in education ranging from the University to Elementary school levels. At the University level he both lectured in courses and taught labs on a wide variety of topics. He also spent a number of years traveling to inner city schools to teach children about wildlife, with a particular emphasis on urban wildlife. This broad background in education is complemented by his many years of experience in research, marketing, management and the implementation and oversight of customer service departments.

A native of Colorado, Dr. Benedict has been involved in a variety of ventures throughout the state. Though many of these were in the private sector, much of his time has been devoted to numerous non-profit organizations in a variety of capacities.
