from barefoot farm kid in south carolina, usa to following endangered orangutans with researchers in sumatra, indonesia the wild natural world has always been calling
former doctor, i walked away from a successful career to answer it donating photos to kenya's grevy's zebra trust and cheetahs to amboseli national park to walking 2,000 miles across america for wildlife crossings, and now building relationships with the organizations working to protect the wild places and species that matter most
believing time in wild places changes people seeing it in myself and everyone who has ever stood before something truly wild and natural
