Paul Bogard
Born and raised in Minnesota, Paul Bogard leads a life shaped by academia and a deep connection to the natural world.
Having lived across the United States—from Minneapolis to Albuquerque, Reno, Wisconsin, and Virginia—he currently teaches creative nonfiction and environmental literature at James Madison University.
His love of dark skies traces back to childhood summers at his family's Minnesota lake cabin, where he would watch the Milky Way arc overhead from the dock or a canoe.
He travels annually to New Mexico, Nevada, and Minnesota, accompanied by his beloved Brittany dog, Luna.
