Plenary Speakers’ Biographies Cameron Davis is the Senior Advisor to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator on the Great Lakes In that capacity he provides counsel to Administrator Lisa Jackson on the Obama Administration’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. His job includes coordinating Great Lakes policy and funding initiatives with more than one dozen federal agencies and with state, municipal, tribal, business and civic stakeholders. The focus of this work involves restoring habitat, reducing pollution, preventing the introduction of invasive species, reducing runoff and enhancing coastal health for people, fish and wildlife. For more than two decades, Mr. Davis has worked to develop and implement water quality and quantity policy. Starting as a volunteer, he served as a litigating attorney and law teacher at the University of Michigan Law School before serving as president and CEO of the Alliance for the Great Lakes. Under his leadership, the organization won the American Bar Association’s Distinguished Award in Environmental Law & Policy, the first time for a public interest organization in the honor’s history. He earned his law degree, including certification in environmental and energy law, from the Chicago-Kent College of Law and a B.A. from Boston University in International Relations. He is the author of Confluence (BookSurge 2009), the first of a new genre, the “genoir.” While working in Washington, D.C., Chicago and throughout the eight Great Lakes states, Cam lives across the street from Lake Michigan with his wife, Dr. Katelyn Varhely, and son, where they try to swim in the lake several times a week, but only when it’s warm enough. Steve Galarneau is Director of the Office of the Great Lakes in the Department of Natural Resources. As Director, Mr. Galarneau serves as the State representative in multi-state and international management issues for the Great Lakes. Mr. Galarneau holds a MS in biology from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Center for Great Lakes Studies. Greg T. Kleinheinz, Ph.D. is a Professor and Director of the Environmental and Public Health Microbiology Laboratory and Associate Dean of the College of Letters and Science at University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Dr. Kleinheinz received a B.S. in Biology from Northern Michigan University and a Ph.D. in Environmental Microbiology from Michigan Technological University. He was elected president of the Great Lakes Beach Association in 2009 and since 2008 has served as chair of the UW Solid Waste Research Council. Dr. Kleinheinz received a Presidential Citation Award from the Wisconsin Environmental Health Association in 2008. He is currently an Editorial Board Member for the Open Civil Engineering Journal. His research interests include identification and mitigation of microbial pollution sources at Great Lakes beaches. Dr. Kleinheinz and his colleagues are leaders in the area of pollution source identification at Great Lakes beaches. He has published over 35 papers in the field of environmental microbiology. His research has been funded by US DOE, US EPA, UW Solid Waste Research Program, WI DNR, WI Department of Health, and numerous corporate sponsors. 2
