Our Principals
J. Scott Davis
Fisheries Biologist
Scott Davis graduated with honors from Humboldt State University with a B.S. in Freshwater
Fisheries. His education focused primarily on stream ecology and the habitat requirements,
management, and life history strategies of wild trout. During the educational process,
he worked with the Institute of River Ecosystems and the Humboldt State University
Fisheries Department in the assessment of salmonid spawning and rearing habitat,
quantification of salmonid populations, and utilization of micro-habitat features.
In his three seasons of experience with the USDA Forest Service as a biological technician,
he quantified salmonid populations, assessed salmonid habitats, reviewed and reported
stream conditions on grazing allotments and associated effects on fisheries, assisted in
environmental assessments for mining operations, assessed stream improvement project
success, surveyed stream cross sections, classified streams using Rosgen and McCain
methodologies, and performed fisheries enhancement projects. With over thirteen years
in the private sector, he has successfully permitted, designed, and supervised
construction of numerous pond fisheries and trout streams. He has also managed,
designed or consulted on numerous stream rehabilitation and enhancement projects,
gaining considerable experience in all aspects of spring creek restoration, streambank
stabilization, stream habitat enhancement and streambed control. Scott's focus with
Pond and Stream Consulting, Inc. is creation of ecologically balanced and sustainable
pond and stream trout fisheries, while helping our clients achieve their specific goals.
Alex T. Fox, E.I.T.
Resource Engineer
Alex Fox received a B.S. in Civil Engineering - Bio-Resources Option from Montana State
University, Bozeman. Alex has over thirteen years experience in design, permitting and
implementation of stream rehabilitation, wetland restoration and fisheries enhancement
projects. During this time, he as acted as project coordinator, or has been otherwise
involved with projects throughout Montana, as well as in Connecticut, New Jersey, New
Mexico, Oregon and Wyoming. Several of these projects were focused at creation of
natural, functioning ecosystems in heavily populated areas and on sites with special
logistical constraints. Additionally, Alex has been responsible for the design,
permitting and construction of several large-scale streambank stabilization projects
in southwest Montana. Implementation of these projects required the use of many different
construction and revegetation techniques including terraced bank construction,
construction of revetments using coir rolls and/or native woody species such as cottonwood
and willow, placement of rock barbs and boulders, transplant of live trees and application
of hydraulic mulch. Alex's focus with Pond and Stream Consulting, Inc. is aimed at
creating or improving naturally functioning ecosystems, while ensuring clients' special
interests are addressed.
