He and Susan live in the country on 60 acres in south central Illinois.

They’ve won numerous awards for their conservation efforts and their yard is certified with the National Wildlife Federation and Illinois Audubon Society Backyard Habitat Programs. Each year they host several bird, butterfly, and garden tours on their property to show others how to create habitats for wildlife in their own yards.
