Ryan Palmer- Secretary



I am currently an Industrial Pretreatment Specialist with the South Fort Collins Sanitation District (SFCSD). I have been in this position for almost a year but have been involved with IPP at South Fort Collins Sanitation for about a year and a half. The part I enjoy most about IPP is getting to learn about so many different industries and how they work. I have been in the wastewater industry for about 7 years and currently have my Class 4 Wastewater Collection System Operator, Industrial Wastewater Treatment D, Water Distribution System Operator 1 certifications.

 

Outside of work, I am very passionate about spending time with my family and being outdoors. I enjoy playing golf, fishing, camping, hunting, softball, and just about anything else outdoors. I try to spend as much time fishing with my family as humanly possible. I’m also a huge fan of dad jokes.
