The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission named Mike Knoedl to serve as the agency’s director.
Knoedl, who began his career with the AGFC in 1985, has served as the agency’s deputy director since 2011.
Knoedl was selected with the support of all seven voting commissioners. He replaces Loren Hitchcock, who announced his retirement earlier this year.
“Mike is a great leader,” Commissioner Steve Cook said. “His experience leading our largest divisions will be invaluable as director. Mike will look for input and guidance from the great AGFC employees who have dedicated their lives to this agency. I expect great things from him. He’s the right person to lead us into the future.”
Knoedl has served as a Perry County wildlife officer, chief of the Enforcement Division, and as deputy director.
