Kelly Hurt has been an avid hunter and fisherman for the past 32 years. His passion for the outdoors began as a small child while raccoon and squirrel hunting with his father. Those formative years were spent rambling through the hills and hollows of North Mississippi listening to old men talk about hounds and hunts that had long since past. By age ten, he was in charge of starting his father's Treeing Walker puppies on squirrels in preparation for night hunts. By age twelve, he had graduated to deer hunting and killed the first of many deer. Kelly moved away from home to Starkville, MS to attend Mississippi State University. In his seven years there, he managed to earn his B.S. (Geology) and Ph.D. (Forestry and Environmental Science) in between deer hunting and fishing the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge and the Tombigbee State Forest. He moved to Ada, Oklahoma in 1997 for a post-doctoral position with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Since that time, he has also worked as a Regional Environmental Manager for Tyson Foods, and most recently, for the Chickasaw Nation as the Chief Environmental, Health and Safety Officer of the Division of Commerce and the Executive Director of the American Water Institute, LLC. He currently serves as a board member on the Ada Water Resources Board, Citizens for the Protection of the Arbuckle Simpson Aquifer, Oklahoma Academy for State Goals, and Port of Oklahoma City. Kelly and his wife, Christina, have two children: Kelsey and Christopher.
