Travis Bodda

Travis Bodda lives in the heart of Siletz, Oregon, where the coastal air and rugged terrain shape everything he does. At 42, his life is a constant, rewarding motion shared with his wife and three children. While he spends his workdays navigating the practical challenges of pest control, his true pulse is found outdoors.

He is a man of the seasons. Whether he is tracking through the brush on a hunt, casting a line into a cold river, or out on the water crabbing and clamming, the Pacific Northwest is his office and his inspiration. This deep connection to the land provides the grit and honesty found in his writing. He believes that the best stories, much like the best catches, require patience, timing, and a bit of dirt under the fingernails. When he isn't in the field or with his family, he is capturing the spirit of the Oregon wild on the page.
