Neil Christian Johannsen grew up on a working ranch in Northern California. As a youth he delivered newspapers from horseback and learned to fly a bush plane out of a pasture. After earning a master’s in forestry/outdoor recreation, he worked as a park ranger, artist, writer, and skipper of offshore sailboats, building his own thirty-footer to sail wild Alaskan waters. He served as deputy director of California State Parks and, as the longest-serving director of Alaska State Parks, earned a commendation from the Alaska legislature for establishing fifty parks. He oversaw preservation of millions of acres of scenic and recreation areas and historic sites in Alaska, and later consulted on nationally protected lands in Europe, South America, and Russia. Neil has written for national magazines and coauthored a guide to exploring Prince William Sound. He and his wife, Hilary Hilscher, live with two cats on an island in the Pacific Northwest.
