David first visited the Greater Yellowstone Region in 1969 with his family on a two-week classic car camping trip. This started an annual family tradition of extended summer vacations exploring the National Park System. Over the years David has visited many of the countries parks and wilderness areas. This early exposure and a strong interest in science led to a degree in Biology. In 1989 David moved to Jackson, WY for the winter season. Twenty years later he still finds himself stuck in “The Hole” and loving it.
