Len Waldron grew up in the Missouri Bootheel, where the rivers and fields shaped a lifelong connection to the outdoors. The son and grandson of avid field-trialers, he spent his youth traveling the Southeast with bird dogs and horses, learning the rhythms of land, water, and people.

After earning a degree in Political Science from Wake Forest University, Len served as an Infantry officer in the U.S. Army before returning to Wake Forest for his MBA and PLD at the Harvard Business School. His writing career began in earnest in 1999 and has since taken him across Africa, the Americas, and Europe.

From fishing and hunting to firearms, knives, dogs, movies, automobiles—and above all, people—his work explores the places where wilderness and human experience converge.
