"National Parks: Sources: Grand Teton Chief Is Trump's Pick To Lead NPS

"After leaving the job vacant for nearly 18 months, President Trump is expected to nominate the superintendent of Grand Teton National Park as the 19th director of the National Park Service, according to several sources familiar with the process.

David Vela, 57, the Grand Teton superintendent since 2014, has already been interviewed for the post at the White House. If nominated and confirmed, he would become the first Hispanic to lead the agency.

"I am deeply humbled by the rumors and speculation and, if true, would be honored to serve," Vela said this morning."
