Hello, my name is Matthew Sperry, and I am the new Urban Specialist for Clermont Soil & Water. I grew up in Indiana and moved to Fairfield, Ohio in 2013. I graduated from Miami University with a B.S. in Applied Biology in Environmental Science and completed a certificate in Geographic Information Systems. At Miami University, I worked extensively in two different labs. In one lab, I studied sediments and soil pattern formations in Nevada. In the other lab, I studied spider ecology, and published a paper studying wolf spider thermal biology. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outside doing activities such kayaking. I am also a big fan of metal music, and you might find me at any local metal concert. I look forward to working with Clermont County communities and being a part of Clermont Soil & Water.
