His passion for wild places began early, with his childhood family vacations to national parks throughout the country and the countless hours he spent exploring the woods and creeks around his home. Stuart attended the University of Colorado in Boulder and graduated with a B.A. and a B.F.A. in Film Studies as well as a minor in Philosophy. After he decided to dedicate his career to environmental work, Stuart left his Colorado home of the last 7 years and traveled back to his native Washington, D.C. where he earned a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center. Stuart has worked for numerous environmental organizations with a focus on public lands and wildlife issues. He now lives in Denver with his fiancé, Aly, and their two awesome goldendoodles, Hank and Otis. In his spare time Stuart enjoys cliff jumping, hiking, snowboarding, and riding his bike through the city. swilcox@wildearthguardians.org or 720.331.0385.
