Wade Nolan has led a life of high adventure. His background as a biologist and talent as a writer/producer set the course for his journey in life. After college he married and moved to Alaska where he worked in Denali National Park. Here he learned photography from some of the nations best wildlife photographers and launched his writing and television career.
Wade was mentored by an Athapaskan Indian missionary named Fred Mamaloff who opened the door to the Arctic and a rare opportunity to live and spend time with the Eskimos and Indians of Alaska's North Country. Wade later worked and lived north of the Arctic Circle for five years. The North Country intrigued him and called him deeper into the wilderness. Wade and his wife ran kayak expeditions down thousands miles of Arctic Rivers exploring wilderness that would one day become some of our nations most spectacular and remote National Parks. He also floated down 600 miles of the Yukon River filming and documenting Athapaskan Indian culture. There were years when Wade spent over 100 nights in a tent pitched in front of a campfire.
In 82' Wade launched a company named, Alaska Wilderness Perspective Inc. "AWP inc.", and in 93' a DBA called Whitetail University. Nolan next moved into video and television production and produced over 130 wildlife/nature and hunting based videos featuring white-tailed deer, moose and brown bears. Nolan has conducted over 250 whitetail hunting seminars and his bowhunting streaming video clips are viewed by over 5-million hunters each year.
Nolan's productions have been broadcast worldwide on ABC, CBS, NBC and the BBC. He has sold an unprecedented and unparalleled 4 million videos/DVD's that bear his mark and has won both national and international awards for his work. Recently Nolan has done filming for National Geographic and the BBC Natural History Unit. He recently worked on an Alaska-Yukon Moose special with National Geographic TV.
