He lives with his wife and their three children on the same creek he grew up swimming in. He has published research on the endangered Pygmy Three-toed Sloth of Panama and has worked for Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Applegate Partnership. Shockey is a writer, hunter, paragliding pilot and fiddler.
