Meet the Zoo Director - Jim Anderson
"I
think I have the best job in the city of Fort Wayne. I work at
a place that does so many great things for the community and offers
an attraction that a half-million people enjoy each year.
I also get to work with a talented and dedicated
group of co-workers and volunteers. We try to enjoy our jobs
as much as possible. Zoo people are always busy, and there is
always something new going on at the zoo.
Although I generally spend more time on my computer and telephone
than I do wrestling snakes, I get involved in many different parts
of the zoo’s operation.
