Max Seigal

Max Seigal grew up in Boulder, Colorado, and spent most of his childhood camping, climbing, and exploring the Rocky mountains. His parents ran a vet hospital which inspired Max’s passion for biology and wildlife conservation at an early age. After graduating with degrees in science, Max spent a year in southern Africa working on various conservation ecology projects which included tracking rhino and lions, collaring and radio-telemetry tracking wild dogs, and studying mussel larvae off the cost of South Africa, among various other activities.

Following his time in Africa, Max went on to receive a Fulbright research grant to study sustainable lobster aquaculture in Vietnam. During his time in Southeast Asia, Max traveled extensively in the region, working with a number of conservation organizations to improve the future growth of the fish-farming industries in Vietnam and surrounding countries.

In addition to his career in the sciences, Max is an award-winning wildlife photographer. For the last 15 years he has led photo expeditions around the world, from Alaska to Antarctica, which allows him to share his passion for the scientific and photographic splendor of the natural world.
