Johnny grew up in Houston, where quick and easy access to the Texas Hill Country gave him plenty of opportunities to camp, fish, canoe and explore. After earning a business degree at the University of Texas and a short career working on Wall Street, he realized that his passion was the outdoors. He has worked as an adventure guide on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska for the past 16 years, specializing in flora and fauna, hiking, biking, kayaking and bear viewing. In addition to a Wilderness First Responder medical certificate, his extensive training includes a Learn To Return bear safety course, a kayak wet-exit rescue course and a Leave No Trace teacher-training course. He is also a licensed boat captain. Johnny has lived all over the country, from New York to Key Biscayne to Lake Tahoe, but Alaska is his favorite. His love of Alaska has taken him all over the state, from Nome to Barrow (Utqiagvik) to Kodiak to Ketchikan, with extensive exploration in the Kenai and Denali regions. Returning to Nat Hab's Alaska Bear Camp and his beloved bears each summer feels to him like coming home.
Together, Natural Habitat Adventures and World Wildlife Fund have teamed up to arrange nearly 100 nature travel experiences around the planet, while helping to protect the magnificent places we visit and their wild inhabitants.
