Wickey began his career with the agency – then known as the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), in 1984 as a Student Trainee in Michigan. He continued serving in Michigan as a Soil and District Conservationist before becoming the GIS (Geographical Information System) and State Resource Inventory Specialist. In 1992, he became Project Manager at the Information Technology Center in Fort Collins, Colorado. In 1997, he served as the Business Processing Reengineering Program Manager in the National Headquarters in Washington DC. In 1999, he returned to Michigan as the Assistant State Conservationist – Technology.

“I'm excited to be in West Virginia and look forward to working with our staff and partners to promote conservation and the NRCS mission of helping people help the land,” said Wickey.

Kevin and his wife Judy have one son and three daughters who will be joining him in West Virginia later this spring.

NRCS provides technical and financial assistance to West Virginia farmers and other landowners to help them improve and protect the commonwealth’s soil, water, and other natural resources.
