Matt Dwonch
Communications and Editorial Intern
Boise, ID
Before I learned to walk, I learned what sound an elk made. Born and raised in Idaho, this is hardly surprising news. From the get-go, I decided to spend every spare minute chasing fish, wildlife, and adventure. Since those early days, I’ve developed a passion for the tough stuff: solo backpacking trips, fly-fishing remote mountain lakes, and hunting the public land of the West with my bow. Recently, I was diagnosed with type one diabetes. But this hasn’t slowed me down. Rather, I see this new development as a chance to share my unique outlook on the outdoors with the public. When solo hunting and chronic illness mix, excellent stories will abound!
