Biography

Lewis grew up in Missoula, Montana and was indoctrinated early with a love of all things wild and outdoors. He and his wife Halle moved to Utah in 2013 and are raising two wonderful, crazy boys here. Lewis is passionate about access to nature, restoring healthy ecosystems, and working to create and strengthen healthy teams and communities. He has previously worked for the National Park Service, the US Forest Service, Salt Lake City's Public Lands Department, and the Five Valleys Land Trust in Montana. Lewis received a B.S. in Microbiology and an M.S. in Geology from the University of Montana. He loves to hike, backpack, bike, climb, ski and paddle... but especially loves torturing his children by dragging them off into the mountains or the desert at every opportunity. He grew up without a TV, so he is culturally stunted, but is otherwise not a bad guy.
