Why Wild?


The more wild an ecosystem is, the healthier and more in balance it is. We are wise to understand its rhythms, connections and incredible healing power for all living things. There is a deep strand of our DNA that longs to be in this flow. We support activating that strand through workshops, presentations, hikes and other events.

  • Wildlife Workshops

    Individual and group workshops are offered to learn how mountain lions hunt and navigate across the landscape. You’ll also learn about many other prey and predator species.

  • Wildlife Presentations

    Interested in learning how a mountain lion, as a keystone species, completely transforms an ecosystem? Curious why mountain lions are elusive yet predictable? All footage is completely wild, of wild wildlife in wild places.

  • Wildlife Footage and Images

    Wild Nature Media has sold footage to National Geographic, Animal Planet, BBC, PBS and many other wildlife film organizations. The film must use wild footage and accurate narration.

Celebrating the Wild in Wildlife

Growing up in Montana, I started studying wildlife seriously at age six. Back then I didn’t have any trail cameras to monitor wildlife activity. The only option was tying dental floss across wildlife trails. I was most interested in apex predators. Seeing fresh tracks of grizzlies, wolves and mountain lions fueled my interest in wildlife and wild places

Well, I’ve moved up from the dental floss days and after being face bumped by a male mountain lion in the Never Summer Wilderness of Colorado I decided to lean in and learn everything I could about this apex predator. For the past twenty years I’ve spent time weekly in mountain lion habitat. I’ve developed a system that allows me to accurately pinpoint mountain lion activity.

I’m a stickler for wildlife footage that showcases accurate wildlife behavior. No lures, dogs, helicopters or other aids are used. All footage captured is the real deal.
