Kevin L. Sallee
B.S. Ecology, Behavior and Evolution: UCLA
M.S. Wildlife Management: Humboldt State University

Kevin was born and raised in California. He started ESS in 1998 after working for both federal and state resource agencies in the United States. He had been interested in computers and software development since a teenager, but fell in love with biology in High School and decided for a professional career in this field of study. ESS was a natural outcome of these two talents and interests. Aside from the retail products offered by ESS, he has traveled extensively around the world and has developed internationally used software and database systems for national parks and protected area managment including law enforcement planning and monitoring, as well applications for conservation organizations and research institutions. In 2007 he transformed ESS into a Limited Liability Company.
