About

 Originally from Milwaukee, John Morsell attended University of Wisconsin  majoring in zoology with emphases on aquatic biology and applied  ecology. After graduating with a masters degree, he worked as a fishery  research biologist in the north woods of Wisconsin for several years. Following that, he attended the University of Montana for additional  graduate study in applied ecology.
 

In 1974, John moved to  Anchorage to work as a field Environmental Specialist for the company  building the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline. He joined a large consulting  company as an aquatic scientist and environmental project manager. In  1986, he formed his own small consulting company continuing research on  fish and aquatic habitats, traveling extensively to all regions of Alaska. In 2004, John and his wife Sally drove their Nordic Tug power boat from Homer, Alaska to Bellingham, Washington - an amazing five-week adventure. Relocating to the Pacific Northwest, John and Sally enjoyed ten years of life as gentleman farmers on acreage in rural northwest Washington. When maintenance of the property proved to be too much, they moved closer to family in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where they now reside.
