JD Tanner and Emily Ressler are originally from the Midwest, but
they have spent much of their “adulthood” traveling across the
United States. Their educational backgrounds are in outdoor
recreation and education and they have 20 years of combined outdoor
education experience.
Before writing for FalconGuides, they spent three years promoting
responsible outdoor recreation as part of the Leave No Trace
Traveling Trainer program. This unique opportunity gave them
the opportunity to visit 48 states and work with a wide range of
outdoor enthusiasts. Logging over 600 nights in a tent during
that time, they visited almost 50 National Parks as they climbed,
hiked, biked and paddled throughout the US.
Their shared interest in wild places and their commitment to
environmental education has provided them with the opportunity to
work with people from all walks of life. When the two are not
off teaching a course, you might find them searching for state
highpoints, planning their next big adventure, hitting the trail
for FalconGuides, or hanging out with their two favorite canines,
Arnie and Aspen. They reside in Sparta, Illinois.
