Michael O. Giles

Charismatic, passionate and talented, Mike Giles has worked hard to share his lifelong love of the outdoors with everyone. He is an avid fisherman and hunter who has spent over 20 years writing outdoors articles for newspapers and magazines.

In 2013, Mike published his first book, Passion of the Wild. Passion of the Wild is a compilation of inspiring short stories about people following their passion for the outdoors no matter the consequences. From young children to elderly women to disabled people these stories showcase the kind of drive and passion, Mike loves to cultivate and encourage in others. His talent and skill combined with his love for the Lord and his big heart combine to make him an unstoppable force for good in the sometimes rough outdoors world.

Mike has been married to his wife, Kathy for over 30 years. Together, they have three beautiful daughters: Chandler, Jackie and Mikayla. The only things more important to him than the outdoors are his love for Christ and his love for his family. 

Mike is available for speaking events as well as guiding trips upon request.
