Hi! We’re Dale & Callae

Our perspectives have been shaped by…

 

PLACE

Time spent in the environments and cultures of the Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Midwest, and Alaska.

 
 

PEOPLE

Interactions with friends and family; artists and athletes; researchers and storytellers; corporate managers and small-business owners; medical providers and veterinarians; activists and political staffers; military cadets and veterans; sailors and equestrians; bird-lovers and video-gamers; teachers, professors, parents and students: simply too many to list.

 
 

WORK

Wildlife fieldwork (elk, owls, ducks, badgers, song birds, butterflies), habitat restoration, statistical research, retail management, outdoor and environmental education, private tutoring, higher education at 2- and 4-year institutions, and small business owners.

 
 

PLAY

On the soccer field, getting lost in books, thru-hiking The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail (PNT), road tripping to National parks, wildlife refuges and wilderness areas, raising a glass with friends on outdoor patios, and cooking amazing grilled cheese sandwiches.

 

…and we’re still growing!
