Jay Eidsness

"I have always been happiest exploring the curiosities of untamed landscapes. For me, the beautiful chaos of nature is the tonic for many of the maladies affecting modern life. Sadly, increasing threats to these wild places forecasts a future bereft of the wonder of unspoiled wilderness. Preventing a bleak tomorrow demands a vigorous and inspired response today. As an attorney with MCEA, I am committed to wielding my talent and experience as a skilled litigator in the fight for clean air, water, and soil."

Jay holds a B.A. in communication and biology from St. John’s University and a J.D. from Vermont Law School. Prior to joining MCEA, Jay litigated wage theft cases on behalf of employees striving for proper wages, and he clerked for Judge Ann D. Montgomery in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. Jay is a board member of the Spam FC Scholarship Foundation - a local non-profit dedicated to offsetting rising college expenses - and he enjoys spending time with his family in the lakes, rivers, and woods that make Minnesota special.
