| Introduction | Trent Swanson has dedicated his life to hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. He received his B.S. in Forestry from Northern Arizona Univ. and was employed by the Forest Service during college. Initially he managed a Colorado shooting sports complex, and then took over the reins of a hunting and fishing guide service. Besides management responsibilities, he was a sporting clays instructor and guided clients on bird hunts, big game hunts, and fly fishing trips. He then started working with Taylor & Associates where he conducted safety inspections of outdoor recreation businesses. He was also the Senior Editor of Western Hunter Magazine and is a freelance outdoor writer and photographer. The inspiration for his work comes from the many places he has hunted or fished, including most of the western states, Canada, Mexico, Belize, and Kiribati. Trent currently works as the Mountain Territory Sales Rep for SWAROVSKI OPTIK. He supports many conservation groups, and participates in Project CENTRL, a rural leadership program. He and his wife Nichole live in the mountains of Colorado with their young son Mattox and Lacey and Ruby, their champion-bred yellow Labrador Retrievers. |
