Behind The Scenes
marc murrell
Director of Great Plains Nature Center
About Marc: I graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Biology in 1987. I spent the next couple years working for the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission as a Fisheries Management Technician and the next 30+ years and counting working for KDWPT Information/Education Section. Additionally, I’ve been a freelance outdoor writer/photographer for the last three decades with thousands of credits in local, regional and national newspapers, outdoor magazines and websites. I’ve been an avid outdoorsman since I was old enough to walk and fortunate to hunt and fish all over the country. My favorite species to pursue include white-tailed deer, turkeys and waterfowl. I enjoy catching any fish, but target walleye, crappie and channel catfish most. I also enjoy trapping and camping. Some of my most cherished memories revolve around outdoor outings with friends and family. My favorite color is camouflage and I love supreme pizza. The thought of long walks on the beach make me tired, but I do love the ocean.
Preston Giest
Videographer
About Preston: I am a freelance photographer/videographer, as well as a part time hunting guide for SandHill Flyway. After high school I worked as a hunting guide at Flint Oak for a year and then went to Kansas State University for 3 years. During that time, my love for freelance media grew, so I decided to pursue my dreams and have been doing it since. I have always loved everything to do with the outdoors so it made working with Pass It On Outdoor Mentors a perfect match.
