The Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) added a few new faces over the summer in the Sheridan area.

Idaho native Ryan Kenneda, who has called the Cowboy State home since 1982, started as the Sheridan District Game Warden in late July. However, he started with the department in 2003 as a chronic wasting disease technician.

After attending the Wyoming Law Enforcement Academy (WLEA), he lived in Green River for four years and then transferred to Alpine to serve as a game warden trainee and then to the Elk Mountain game warden district in 2010.

“I am really looking forward to serving the community of Sheridan and the surrounding areas and being ‘your game warden’,” he said in a press release.

Kenneda replaces Bruce Scigliano who is retiring from WGFD after more than 30 years of service.

The other new face is Jon Desonier who was hired by the department just this month.

Originally from Tennessee, Desonier spent four years in the Army before earning a degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Science from the University of Tennessee in 2019.

He’ll attend WLEA in January and will also serve as game warden in the Sheridan area.
