LOS ANGELES COUNTY
FISH & GAME COMMISSION
John Hybarger, Chairperson
Chairperson Hybarger, representing the First Supervisorial District, was appointed on May 15, 2001. He is a life-long resident of the city of Baldwin Park where he has been a teacher for over three decades. He and his wife have three grown children and two grandchildren.
Always in love with the landscape, Commissioner Hybarger enjoys hiking, bicycling, travel, fishing and shooting, and being with people who enjoy the out-of-doors.
Having hunted and fished since boyhood, Commissioner Hybarger, who grew up on Boy's Life and the writings of Jack O'Connor, Robert Ruark, Ernest Hemingway and other classical outdoor writers, respects the romance and tradition of the outdoorsman, and considers that ethic important to a true respect for the land and wildlife that is quickly disappearing.
To encourage the continuance of the adventurous and outdoor life for young people, Commissioner Hybarger sponsors and conducts an outdoor recreation and education program for junior high school boys and girls. The Urban Wilderness Outing focuses on appreciating and using the many varieties of outdoor encounters that are available throughout Los Angeles County and neighboring sites.
Believing in being an active participant in conservation and sportsman's issues, along with a number of professional organizations, Commissioner Hybarger has been a member and Director/Secretary for the Society for the Conservation of Bighorn Sheep for many years. He also holds memberships with the Wildlife Society, The Responsible Anglers Association, the Fishing in the City Program, Cal Trout, Jane Goodall Institute, Ocean Institute, and is a volunteer with the San Gabriel Mountains Regional Conservancy. Commissioner Hybarger is currently the Secretary for the California Association of County Fish and Game Commissioners.
Commissioner Hybarger is an advocate for hunting and fishing activities which are supported by healthy habitats, good management policies based on accurate scientific data, and legislation that recognizes the need to maintain ecological sound areas that provide for human access so that the traditional sportsman's activities can be enjoyed by current and future generations.
Timothy Jones, Vice Chairperson
Vice Chairperson Timothy Jones, representing the Second Supervisorial District, was appointed on March 29, 2005. Commissioner Jones is a graduate of Dartmouth College and is currently employed as a Systems Analyst for Advanced Communications & Technology. Born in Camden, New Jersey, he has camped, hiked and hunted his way across the continent to settle in Los Angeles. He has three children.
Commissioner Jones’ first love, however, is the great outdoors, which he enjoys in several capacities, including memberships with the Sierra Club, National Rifle Association, Boy Scouts of America, and teaching scuba diving as a registered underwater instructor, among other activities.
Growing up in the inner city did not present him many outdoor opportunities, so Commissioner Jones is very involved with exposing inner city youth to outdoor experiences and outdoor vocational opportunities. His membership in “The Working Group”, a rainbow coalition of outdoor enthusiasts representing the US Forest Service, California Department of Forestry, California Department of Fish and Game, Irvine Land Trust and others, is intended to educate and prepare inner city youth for jobs and careers as the future stewards of our natural and urban wilderness.
In Commissioner Jones’ own words, “My duty as Los Angeles County Fish and Game Commissioner is to devote time and thought to the best methods for the propagation and protection of fish and game in the State of California and Los Angeles County. Exposing youth to the wonders and beauty of the outdoors is an effective and FUN way of deputizing them to help fulfill my duties. I give thanks to those who work to preserve the Fish & Game that make these unforgettable experiences possible. I feel obligated and am honored to take on this responsibility”.
Commissioner Sandra Aronberg
Commissioner Aronberg, representing the Third Supervisorial District, was appointed on August 3, 1993. Originally from South Florida, Commissioner Aronberg has been an enthusiastic angler most of her life. She enjoys both fresh and salt-water fishing and can be seen in the LA area on the local party boats or casting for bass.
Commissioner Aronberg is a physician with a master’s degree in environmental health and toxicology and is concerned about preserving and protecting our environment for current and future generations to enjoy.
Commissioner Bradley Nuremberg
Commissioner Nuremberg, representing the Fifth Supervisorial District, was appointed on February 5, 1985.
