Puget Soundkeeper Staff:

Chris Wilke, Acting Executive Director

Chris brings his experience in the boating community, in development and in fundraising along with his boating and paddling expertise. A native of the Puget Sound area, Chris has been close to the water in one way or another his whole life. He is a certified SCUBA diver and has worked on marine mammal research projects with NOAA. When not working to protect and preserve Puget Sound with PSA, Chris can often be found on the water, sailing his 22' sailboat “Blue Heron” or fly fishing Puget Sound's rivers, lakes and saltwater beaches. Chris has a certificate in Fundraising Management from the University of Washington and a background in music and liberal arts studies at Cornish College .

Paul Fredrickson, Program Assistant

Paul has lived by water all his life, and in 1954 began his service with the U.S. Coast Guard. He worked in Search and Rescue, served as Quartermaster-2nd Class in the South Pacific, and served in the Artic. After graduating from college with honors, he worked as an industrial designer, sales manager, and marketing director until his retirement in 1997. He became involved with Puget Soundkeeper Alliance's (PSA) Pollution Prevention programs under Pat Pearson in 1998. Paul has helped PSA with nearly every fundraising event and every clean-up, and has worked PSA booths at countless festivals and shows. His contributions to our outreach in the community are immeasurable. After nearly five years of volunteer work with PSA, he was asked to join the staff as program assistant.

Margy Wallace, Manager
As a child growing up in Portland, Oregon, Margy camped and canoed all over the US with her family. Her dad was a fresh water biologist with Federal Water Supply and Pollution Control (now part of the EPA).  She holds a BS in biology from Portland State University and has worked as a neurochemistry research assistant at the University of Oregon Medical School.  In the field of energy conservation she has worked with the Oregon State Master Conserver program and a conservation pilot program for the city of Portland; and she has been controller for a family business. Three kids and forty years later she has come full circle back to water.

Betsy Moyer, Development Director

Betsy is responsible for PSA's business partnership development and fundraising activities. She grew up in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania where she spent countless hours roaming the countryside and appreciating her natural surroundings.  She graduated from Bucknell University in 2002 with a BA in Environmental Studies and a double minor in Economics and Ethics. After relocating to Washington, DC, Betsy worked with DPRA, Inc. and ICF International where she supported a number of US EPA Programs including the National Environmental Performance Track and the Climate Friendly Parks Programs.  In addition to her consulting experience with the federal government, she has also worked in the non-profit sector with the National Park Foundation. While in DC, Betsy was startled by the overwhelming water-quality issues in the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River and recognized these problems as an opportunity for business, non-profit and government groups to collaborate for positive change. She and her husband moved to Seattle in May 2006 to begin a new adventure together. Betsy holds an MBA in Sustainable Business from Bainbridge Graduate Institute.
