Professor Feger has been an Instructor of Biology at Â鶹´«Ã½¸²Ãð¼Ç since 2014. He came to Â鶹´«Ã½¸²Ãð¼Çwith extensive experience in fisheries biology. His main teaching focus is AMU's environmental science sequence and zoology. Prof. Feger worked as a fisheries biologist in private, academic, and public sectors. While in undergrad and graduate school, Prof. Feger held fisheries internships with multiple agencies in Illinois. After graduate school, Prof. Feger worked in private consulting where he helped clients in MS, AR, and LA maximize the fishing potential of their ponds and lakes. At FIU, he conducted Everglades research focusing on the effects of hydrology on fish movement and habitat use along with non-native species detection.

In the public sector, Prof. Feger performed research with the Ohio Division of Wildlife's Inland Fisheries Research Unit (IFRE) sampling fish populations on the Ohio River and in many lakes and streams. Prof. Feger's teaching and research interests lie at the intersection of science, philosophy, and theology. In the classroom, he teaches students from an Aristotelian-Thomistic framework to promote the beauty of the created order and the call of stewardship given to us by God. Prof. Feger also engages questions on evolution. His goal is for his students to think rightly about the question of evolution, especially as it pertains to Adam and Eve and the human person.

In addition to his academic pursuits, Prof. Feger serves as AMU’s Faculty Athletic Representative. As a former collegiate student-athlete, he understands the demands of academic and athletic life. As such, he successfully serves as an advocate for both Â鶹´«Ã½¸²Ãð¼Çstudent-athletes and his fellow faculty. Prof. Feger is also passionate about human formation outside the classroom. He teaches RCIA for Ave Maria Parish and, he and his wife, Elizabeth (’12 alumna), mentor engaged student couples for AMU’s Campus Ministry. Prof. Feger and his wife live in Ave with their four children.
