"Science is for everyone. It has to be available to everyone because we are all natural explorers."

 Thomas Hebert 

Tom has over 10 years of field experience working in paleontology.  His passion for paleontology has opened his eyes to some of the problems in the earth sciences.  He is working tirelessly to open doors for kids, students, veterans , and the public as a whole to get involved in the earth sciences.  He believes that anyone should have the opportunity to learn and participate in sciences and wants to make sure it is available.  His passion also carries over into helping veterans who are suffering health issues or transitioning to civilian life find careers in the geosciences.  With a focus on helping underrepresented people becoming more represented his is hoping to help inspire the next generation of geoscientists.  

My name is Anne Headley and have owned and managed my own insurance agency for 21 years. This is how I came to know our Director/Founder, Tom Hebert. I live in Huntsville, Texas with my husband Ron. My vision for my agency has been to always help people make sound financial decisions with regards to their future, whether they become my clients or not. I have served on the board of several organizations and bring that knowledge and my business experience to the table in helping this foundation meet its financial goals and expand its initiatives. With two sons having served in the military, I am keenly interested in helping this organization expand its outreach to veterans through its VETS initiative. As a board member, my desire is to make sure all programs and initiatives are successful for all the participants and the volunteers receive the satisfaction of a job well done.

I'm Sabrina Wagner, and I recently graduated from University Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a degree in Geology Environmental Science. I'm currently working as a intern for the Earth Sciences Foundation where I dig and prep fossils in Montana. I became interested in the foundation when I met Thomas Hebert at UW-Eau Claire. There we worked together to create a geospatial map that we used to map fossils. While doing this research I fell in love with paleontology and continued working with Tom. As a member on this board I hope to spark interest in kids and teach them about the wonders of paleontology.
