About Me

My name is Traveler, and together with my wife, Nicole Ziegler, and our daughter, Cedar, we fish and fillet salmon at our remote Alaskan fishcamp spring, summer, and fall. Our camp is on the banks of the Ugashik River in western Alaska. I have commercial fished Alaska's waters for the last 25 years. We live in Hawaii during the winter, where my wife is a professor in second language acquisition the University of Hawaii. I studied fine art (BFA), environmental journalism (MA), and wrote a travel guide to the state of Alaska. I'm passionate about sustainable food systems and subsistence lifestyles. We garden, hunt, and gather everywhere we go.
