Mark Clytus

Yá'át'ééh (Hello) I am Mark Clytus I am married to beautiful Dine’ woman with four kids, I am in my second year PhD student of American Indian Studies emphasis Natural Resource Management and Policy at the University of Arizona. My research interest Indigenous Food, Energy, Water, and Security (FEWS) Nexus emphasis Energy and Water infrastructure on Indigenous lands. I have had a dynamic professional background with 15 years in engineering field. I have over six years of experience working as a structural design engineer with The Boeing Company. In addition to my engineer experience at Boeing, I have also worked with Navajo tribal programs with the implementation of various program goals and objectives. In 2018, I made the decision to further my education by applying for the PhD program at the U of A to apply his engineering skills and abilities toward other potential opportunities; particularly for the benefit of Indian Country. As a PhD candidate, I envision in the future applying my engineering capabilities toward an end-product that will produce economic development opportunities in an environmentally conscious market for Indigenous Communities.
