Rob Clare

Hi, I’m Rob — author, teacher, blogger and dad.

I grew up in the UK fascinated by the underwater world. When I finally got the chance to scuba dive, I was hooked. That passion led me to become an instructor and live in the Caribbean before shifting to a more grounded calling: teaching.

Nicoli Carr

I spent my early childhood on a cattle ranch nestled at the edge of the Gila Wilderness in South Western New Mexico. From an early age storytelling and the outdoors played dual formative roles in my life. I have spent a good deal of my life flirting with storytelling, then promptly running from it. I worked as a U.S. Airman, Security Guard, Behavioral Health Technician, Fitness Instructor, Library Technician, Freelance Writer, Wildland Firefighter, Forest Service and Park Service Trails Maintainer, Library Technician, and Park Service Custodian. However the drive to write was ever close behind, dogging every step, every job, like something part and parcel to my own shadow.
