I'm a pro at creating presentations tailored to your event. My last weird one was connecting the history of the British Royal Family to invasive lamprey in the midwest's Great Lakes.
My biggest crowd pleaser! This talk has it all: adventure, heroes, villains, testicles! Learn a little about the history of the world, the U.S, conservation, and some of the most important historical figures responsible for the conservation movement in America. There's a crazy story for every slide.
My most prescient lecture. Most of my talks are about history with a touch of “where does that leave us now?” at the end. The topic of hunting however is most topical. New adult hunters are desperately needed in America to replace the aging population of current hunters and all the money they spend on what is the most successful economic system of conservation in the world. Luckily, some young chefs and outdoor enthusiasts are becoming involved, with a focus on food and a desire to connect more with the natural world. I have been suspicious of hunting my entire life, until I finally did some research on it. The environment is in an ‘all hands on deck’ moment and believe it or not, hunters are some of Mother Nature’s biggest allies.
