John W. Wulf

John W. Wulf, born in Williston, ND, spent most of his life in northwestern Montana. He studied social work after Army service in Vietnam, but worked mostly in the timber and automotive industries. Words, music and wilderness have shaped his life. He now lives near Boise, Idaho.

Wulf refers to himself as a "jackpine savage" - one who comes out of the wilderness unprepared for civilization. Alter-ego Jack P. Savage, who has "survived childhood, one war, and three wives" admits, "I still have this boy in me that likes idealistic musings and thoughts that challenge the imagination or run counter to the norm.”
