COULEE DAM, Wash. — The National Park Service has selected Devon Bradley as superintendent of Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. He will assume the role October 4, 2026.
Devon brings nearly three decades of military and federal government experience to the position, with extensive experience in park operations, facilities management, budgeting, project management and organizational leadership. Since 2024, he has served as superintendent of Chickasaw National Recreation Area in Oklahoma, where he also oversees Washita Battlefield National Historic Site and supports National Park Service operations at the Oklahoma City National Memorial.
“Lake Roosevelt is an extraordinary place with deep connections to the Tribes, communities and people who have cared for and enjoyed this landscape for generations,” said Superintendent Devon Bradley. “I look forward to working alongside park employees and building strong relationships with Tribes, partners and surrounding communities as we protect the park’s resources and provide outstanding opportunities for visitors.”
Devon joined the National Park Service in 2022 as deputy chief of facilities management at Grand Canyon National Park, where he helped manage more than 130 employees and a complex portfolio of park facilities, housing, trails and infrastructure across the 1.2-million-acre park.
Prior to joining the National Park Service, Devon spent 13 years with the Department of the Army, where he held leadership positions in program management and operations, including serving as a deputy director responsible for a team of 28 program analysts and a $500 million portfolio of Department of Defense programs. He previously served 10 years in the U.S. Marine Corps as a reconnaissance Marine, including three tours in Iraq.
