Thanks again for visiting WildHarePhotos.com
I have been wandering the Northern Rockies and Intermountain West since 1992, and enjoy being outside, regardless of the weather, exploring nature with others.
I worked as an interpretive park ranger for eight seasons in Yellowstone, the mother ship of all national parks. I also worked six seasons as an instructor and naturalist guide with the Yellowstone Association Institute, which allowed me to share the front- and backcountry wonders of the world’s first national park with people of all ages.
I am a photographer, writer, educator and communicator by trade and training, and it’s a rather long, tangential story as to how I ended up in Montana and have made helping others deepen and strengthen their connection with nature my passion and life’s focus. I’ll try to be brief here…
As part of a graduate school internship in the summer of 1992, I taught English to international teenagers in an outdoor setting in Big Sky, Montana. I had finally found a place in the United States that felt more like home, mainly due to its immense wildlands replete with large, free-roaming critters.
But what really sold me on the area was the time spent discovering Yellowstone that summer. In 1994, I relocated to Bozeman, Montana, where I taught English and freshman seminar courses at Montana State University for five plus years before becoming a Yellowstone park ranger, instructor and naturalist guide. Missoula, Montana is now home base for my nature connection-minded pursuits, where my partner Erik and I live, along with Flo-Jo the cat.
The more time we spend outdoors, the better, because by doing so, we can better learn about, appreciate and protect the natural world. As a result, future generations just might be thanking us, rather than wondering why we chose to squander such an irreplaceable legacy.
