The Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission has appointed Doug Schoenrock as the next Executive Director of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
Since May 2025, Schoenrock has served as Director of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. His conservation background also includes more than 30 years of volunteer service with Ducks Unlimited, where he served as the organization's 45th President in 2020 and Chairman of the Board until July 2024. Schoenrock holds both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in science from the University of Tennessee. A dedicated hunter and lifelong outdoorsman, he looks forward to returning to his Tennessee roots. He will begin his new role in early January 2027.
Schoenrock will succeed Jason Maxedon, who announced his retirement earlier this year after more than 26 years with TWRA. Maxedon was appointed Executive Director in 2022, and his last day with the Agency will be November 30, 2026.
TWRA invites everyone to join them in welcoming Doug Schoenrock to the Agency and thanking Jason Maxedon for his years of service.
