Summary
Today's guest, Vernan Kee, talks about his life growing up on the enormous Navajo Nation in the Four Corners area, his adventures away from home in the military and in college, as well as his recent return home to help bring a passion for outdoor and adventure to his people.
Currently, Vernan is a freelance graphic designer who is exploring his Indigenous homeland in order to share its beauty with the world. I hope you enjoy this conversation about life, adventure, and the healing power of Mother Nature.
