Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To enjoy my return to Jackson Hole, an figure out how I'll survive through next winter there!
ABOUT ME
A wildlife biologist and outdoor educator from Jackson Hole, I volunteered for three months with the Royal Society for Protection of Nature in Thimphu, focusing on the design and set-up of a new environmental sciences library, and the first of its kind in Bhutan. Then taught for 6 months at the College of Natural Resources to teach courses in Conservation Science, and Ecotourism Development Strategies to 21 Bhutanese forest and park officers completing their BS degrees
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in the infinite beauty, mystery and healing power of nature, so I prefer to interact with it intensively, scientifically and spiritually. "In 20 years it's not what you did that you'll regret, it's what you didn't do."
