Jason Knight and David Gray 2016 Beacon Award Recipient
Jason Knight is the Recreation Planner, for the USACE Tulsa District, following service as a
Natural Resource Park Ranger at the Alatoona Lake Office, Mobile District. His efforts have
national impact. His outstanding use of emerging technology resulted in development of the Park
Ranger Mobile App, which now allows USACE staff to serve visitors at projects throughout the nation
more efficiently and effectively. Rangers can access emergency contacts, Corps regulations,
hunting/lake maps, shoreline management applications, flood elevation information, citation/warning
history, and more are while in the field, and can share important information with visitors. His
work in expanding partnerships and encouraging volunteerism have also made major impacts,
including
expansion of disc golf courses at USACE sites and partnership-based campground renovation and
repair work to mitigate the impacts of flooding. He is a leader in improving the USACE Visitor
Estimation and Reporting System and the Operations and Maintenance Business Information Link and
was the recipient of the 2014 United States Army Corps of Engineers' National Innovator of the Year
