Westerly

Michael E. Newell a transplanted thirty-year resident in “Green Country,” Tulsa, Oklahoma grew up in rural Michigan, not far from Detroit, and developed a passion for the outdoors at an early age. He finds common ground between the hardwood forests he grew up with and the lands in northeast Oklahoma. Newell is a Science and History channel addict and an avid reader of fiction, particularly those with a slant on actual historical events such as the works of Dan Brown and Steve Berry. Newell learned wilderness life by exploring the hundreds of acres of open lands, which were, in effect, his back yard. Newell, following his father’s lead, developed a keen passion for hunting, and for outdoor activities of all kinds, and trail blazing new ground. Newell with his wife, Linda, live an “empty-nester” lifestyle with their dogs, Lucy and Bravo.
