with Nick Jans about his new book, A Wolf Called Romeo. A
compelling story of an unlikely 6 year relationship with a Black
Wolf in the Alaskan outback. Call in: 347-308-8478 I was born
the son of a career diplomat and spent 12 of my first 13 years
overseas—first Palermo, Sicily, then Vienna, Austria, and finally
Thailand from 1962-67. My dad was the American consul in Udorn
Thani, a forward CIA and special operations base for missions into
Laos, and later on, into North Vietnam. I attended high school in
the Washington DC area and graduated in 1977 from Colby College in
Waterville, Maine, with a degree in English Literature. Though
mostly raised in cities, I had always dreamed of living in a
wilderness setting, and set out for Alaska in 1979. After an 800
mile canoe trip, I settled in a remote Eskimo village on the upper
Kobuk River in northwest arctic Alaska, 200 miles off the road
grid. I worked for a hunting guide, managed a trading post, and
then became a schoolteacher to Inupiat Eskimo children in the local
school. But my first love was always the seemingly limitless, wild
country that surrounded me, and the creatures that roamed it. In 20
years of living in the region, I travelled tens of thousands of
wilderness miles by skiff, canoe, on foot, skis, and snowmobile,
often alone I’m a contributing editor to Alaska Magazine, and
on USA Today’s board of editorial contributors. I currently
live on a semi-remote homesite in Southeast Alaska with my wife,
Sherrie, and our four dogs.
