Jeffrey Steadman was born and raised in Utah, where he began exploring the outdoors shortly after leaving the womb. As a child he spent his summers exploring the canyons of the Wasatch Front on family hikes. These days he explores all that Utah has to offer in every season. He's slept in snowcaves, been in a lightning and hailstorm at about 12,000 feet, and has been known to catch fish out of local streams with his bare hands. Jeffrey is an accomplished writer and enjoys introducing new campers to the outdoors through youth volunteer programs, classroom instruction, or planning giant camping trips with new friends. When he's not in the backcountry, he enjoys cooking, gardening, photography, and spending time with family. He currently lives near Salt Lake City with his dog, Mountain Jane, a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon who just can't get enough of camping.
