USEE Board
Aaron Dekeyzer, Board Chair
Aaron Dekeyzer joined the board in 2018 and is excited to be back, having served an internship in 2012. Aaron is passionate about education and the environment and believes in USEE’s mission to create an environmentally literate citizenry. He enjoys volunteering in the classroom, where he has taught ecological principles and mindfulness practices for a number of years. Aaron has a Masters Degree in Transpersonal Ecopsychology and chairs the Sandy City Sustainability Focus Group. He likes to get away from the buzz of the city and spend quality time with his family at their cabin in southern Utah (no tv here!), hiking, exploring, and stargazing. He also enjoys bird watching, playing games like chess and go, photography, and rocking out to concerts in gardens!
