Howie Garber, MD, is a board certified emergency medicine physician and a professional landscape, wildlife and adventure sports photographer. He has won national and international awards for his work. In 1990 he traveled to Nepal and shot 40 rolls of film while trekking for a month. Later, while hitchhiking in South America he was picked up by a Brazilian biologist who was doing jaguar research. Experiencing the wonder of observing wildlife in natural habitats was an incentive to improve his photography skills.

In between trips he has worked locum tenens assignments across the Western U.S. and Alaska.
