{"id":30,"name":"Brian Lane &amp; Jeanne Murphy","url":"","description":"As a Florida native, Brian grew up on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Central Florida in Orlando.\r\n\r\nDuring his childhood, he spent most of his spare time fishing along the beaches and bays of Florida\u2019s west coast or roaming the woods looking for his next adventure.\r\n\r\nAfter high school, he left Florida to become a Watercraft Operator for the US Army Reserves.\r\n\r\nFrom early on, Brian was determined to find a profession that would satisfy his passion for wildlife and the outdoors. Being an environmental scientist and ecologist for the past 17 years has done just that.\r\n\r\nWith camera in tow, Brian eagerly treks through waist-high swamps, canoes around alligator tails and drives ATVs up steep banks excitedly awaiting his next nature adventure to unfurl.\r\n\r\nThen, he brings his experiences back and shares them with others through environmental trainings, eco-tours and educational materials that he creates for his co-owned company, Sensing Nature\u00ae.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nJeanne Murphy, a professional wildlife biologist is happiest when teaching about nature through educational workshops\/eco-tours, capturing moments in time through nature photography or just exploring nature at leisure.\r\n\r\nAfter pursuing a bachelor degree in animal science and graduate courses in ichthyology, Jeanne has since spent years traveling and mapping wetland and upland habitats throughout the United States as well as working as a government wildlife biologist educating the public about the importance of natural systems and their inhabitants.\r\n\r\nNow, Jeanne excitedly co-owns Sensing Nature\u00ae (a Florida environmental education, ecotourism and educational nature products company) with her husband Brian Lane.\r\n\r\nAs a certified instructor for the University of Florida\u2019s Florida Master Naturalist Program and as an active community member, Jeanne believes that we can all make a positive difference in tomorrow\u2019s environmental successes.","link":"https:\/\/www.quickreferencepublishing.com\/wholesale\/author\/brian_lane\/","slug":"brian_lane","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/www.quickreferencepublishing.com\/wholesale\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2011\/09\/Blane-small-e1525131596501.jpg","48":"https:\/\/www.quickreferencepublishing.com\/wholesale\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2011\/09\/Blane-small-e1525131596501.jpg","96":"https:\/\/www.quickreferencepublishing.com\/wholesale\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2011\/09\/Blane-small-e1525131596501.jpg"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickreferencepublishing.com\/wholesale\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickreferencepublishing.com\/wholesale\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
