Author Biography
Keith Paluso III is a career Park Ranger-turned-creative from Memphis, Tennessee. After graduating with a degree in Environmental Biology from the University of Tennessee at Martin in 2012, Keith began his career as a Ranger for Tennessee State Parks, where he focuses on providing environmental education to marginalized communities in poverty-stricken, rural areas.
In 2018, Keith launched a second career as a singer/songwriter after he was featured as a Top 24 contestant on NBC's The Voice. His combined love of music and the outdoors (and bird calls, in particular) also inspired him to start teaching via social media whenever he's on tour.
When he's not traveling, Keith lives in the tiny town of Munford, Tennessee, with his wife, son, two dogs, a cat, and a backyard full of bird feeders and flowers.
