VETERANS’ WORKSHOP MANAGER

Ray was born in Casper, WY and currently lives in Red Feather Lakes, CO.  He joined the Army in 2005 and was injured in Iraq August 26, 2006, and medically retired in 2008.  His injuries led him to helping as many of my brothers and sisters as possible.  Honoring Our Veterans was a very important part of Ray’s recovery.  He manages and supports both the photography and fly fishing workshops.

VETERANS’ WORKSHOP MANAGER

I was born in Saint Louis, MO. From an early age I enjoyed the outdoors hunting, fishing and most of all helping people.  I served in the Army from 2005-2015 with two deployments as Drill Sergeant and Airborne Instructor.  Honoring Our Veterans helped put me on the right track in life after my injuries.  I’m honored and passionate about giving back and providing the best recreational therapy to my combat disabled brothers and sisters.

HOV GUEST SPEAKER – WYOMING WILDLIFE

Mark Gocke grew up on the plains of Eastern Nebraska. His love of the outdoors was discovered at a young age through hunting, fishing and generally running amok in the woods. It was these early years spent in the outdoors that eventually led Mark to a degree in Wildlife Management from the University of Nebraska. He is the Wyoming G&F Information and Education Specialist in Jackson.

Mark has received several awards for his photography including several first place honors from the Association for Conservation Information. Mark’s photographs have been featured in many wildlife research and conservation efforts over the years. His images have also appeared in a variety of magazines, books, calendars and displays.

PHOTO WORKSHOP FIELD SUPPORT

I joined the Navy in early 1990.  I went in to the Nuclear Power School program, then out to the fleet on an early Los Angeles-class fast  attack submarine, the USS Salt Lake CIty (SSN716). I first learned photography when I was about 11.  I like shooting everything: macro, models, wildlife, landscapes, surrealism.  To play with another lens. To visit another place, meet more people, and keep my mind and heart open to seeing something amazing.
