Chris Floyd - Deputy Director, Division of State Parks
Chris Floyd serves as Deputy Director for the Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources, where he provides leadership and oversight for parks and historic sites, the State Trails Program, and the Office of Outdoor Recreation.
Floyd has been with the division of State Parks, Historic Sites, and Trails since 2016, holding several leadership roles, including Manager of the Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation, Manager of the Shoshone District of State Parks, and Superintendent of Fort Bridger State Historic Site. Prior to his work in Wyoming, he served as a site manager with the Texas Historical Commission and Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites.
