Ron Lizzi

Ron Lizzi (pronounced LIT-see) has hiked 1,700 miles in nearly 500 parks across America, camera in hand. Still, he's no elite outdoorsman, just a regular guy, one that most readers can relate to. And that's important because he intends to make the case for spending time in nature, particularly in America's magnificent parks, and therefore he wants readers to imagine themselves behind his camera.

When he's not roaming the country, looking for beautiful scenery, he's at home in his native Connecticut.
