Wade Nolan has led a life of high adventure. His background as a biologist and talent as a writer/producer has set the course for his journey in life. Wade laid the foundation of his career while growing up in the Pennsylvania hardwoods pursuing white-tailed deer with a second hand Bear recurve. After college he married and moved to Alaska where he worked in Mt. McKinley National Park, now called Denali National Park. Here he learned photography from some of the nations best wildlife photographers and launched his writing career.

His association with an Athapaskan Indian named Fred Mamaloff, who served as a missionary, 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 and his wife Hazel later worked and lived north of the Arctic Circle for five years. The North Country intrigued him and called the team deeper into the wilderness. Wade and his wife ran kayak expeditions down over a thousand miles of Arctic rivers exploring wilderness that would one day become some of our nations most spectacular and remote National Parks. They 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.

It was during this time that Wade and his wife Hazel began sharing the mystique of the Arctic with audiences across the lower 48. They spoke in 64 cities across America sharing images and wildlife and adventure based video programs with arm chair explorers. 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 100 wildlife/nature and hunting based videos across the next 15 years. The primary topic Wade features is White-tailed Deer and wildlife conservation.

Nolan's productions have been broadcast worldwide on ABC, CBS, NBC and the BBC. He has sold an unprecedented and unparalleled 2 million videos that bear his mark and has won both national and international awards for his work. One of AWP's' productions "Safe Treestand Hunting" was produced in cooperation with the National Bowhunter Education Foundation. This production is the best distributed video production ever released in the US in the hunting industry with over 1-million in circulation. Nolan has done marketing and production work for over 45 companies in the bowhunting industry. His work in the hunting industry occurs under WhiteTail University. Wade has run marketing programs for as many as six companies in one year and has organized and staged six outdoor writer camps hosting over 92 writers in all.

A professional storyteller, Wade has spent considerable time in both the Arctic and in Africa and has gathered true life and death stories that he shares in his speaking events. He now divides his time between consulting for companies in the hunting industry and speaking in favor of Christ at church sponsored Wild Game Dinners.
At these speaking engagements, Wade reaches out and connects with guys who are outdoorsmen. The ones who are avid hunters and fisherman but do not often attend organized religious services. They find that Wade is a regular guy who brings Christ's clear message of hope in down-to-earth manner. His true and dynamic personal adventures are stepping stones he uses to share Christ.
