About Me
Hi everyone, my name is Sam Ansaldi. I am an avid outdoorsman with a love of nature and a fascination for all organisms within it. I grew up in a log cabin deep in the mountains of north-eastern Vermont where my days were spent endlessly exploring the hidden treasures of its surrounding countryside. This passion for the natural world grew in my adult life as I began my career as an Environmental Educator. For the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of working at world renowned zoological associations and conservation areas. While my title has changed many times over the years, its essence has always stayed the same; science, nature, education.
My wife and I currently live in Central Indiana, where oceans of lush farmland and Indianapolis greenscapes provide the backdrop for my teaching classroom. Its for the love of the land, the conservation of its habitats, and the passion for education that I have made this career part of my life. Because when you enjoy what you do, life just becomes more fun. |
