Northwest Experience, now Rocky’s consulting firm, started as a guide service
in Wisconsin in 1977 when Rocky was the Northwest Field Editor of Wisconsin
Sportsman Magazine. He had Walt Bresette,
an artist and Chippewa activist draw his logo. Walt died in 1999 after
helping found the Green Party. Rocky kept the logo and the name now that he
lives and loves the Pacific Northwest.
