Waller lives in a solar- and wind-powered home north of Marquette. He was formerly a wilderness guide and co-director of Canadian Wilderness Voyage program, a wilderness canoe adventure program in the Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada.
As Muir, he will detail life-changing experiences and adventures, from the naturalist’s early years in Scotland, to growing up in the Midwest and then moving to the Sierras. Muir was a self-taught Wisconsin farm boy who became a renowned and influential activist, preservationist, writer and co-founder of the Sierra Club.
