Statement

Jeremy Olstadt grew up in the Madison, WI area and attended the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point post high school where he received a BS in Biology with an emphasis on Aquatic Biology. Following college, he worked for the University of Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH) in the Water Microbiology Department. His career at the WSLH consisted of routine testing, method development and research related to detection of protozoans, bacteria and viruses in drinking water, ground water, ambient water and wastewater. After his time in state service, he worked for both an environmental consulting firm that was interested in having laboratory capabilities and for a company that does government-contracting work for the USEPA. Currently, Jeremy is happy to be a Laboratory Operations Manager at the Marshfield Clinic Research Institute in the Integrated Research and Development Laboratory.
