Jeff Nania was born and raised in Wisconsin. His family settled in Madison’s storied Greenbush neighborhood. His father often loaded Jeff, his brothers, and a couple of dogs into an old jeep station wagon and set out for outdoor adventures. These experiences were foundational for developing a sense of community, a passion for outdoor traditions, and a love of our natural resources.
Jeff’s first career was in law enforcement where he found great satisfaction in serving the community. He was a decorated officer who served in many roles, including as a member of the canine unit patrolling with his dog, Rosi.
Things changed and circumstances dictated he take a new direction. The lifelong outdoorsman found a path to serve a different type of community. Over half of Wisconsin’s wetlands had been lost, and more were disappearing each year. Jeff began working with willing landowners to develop successful strategies to restore some of these wetlands. This journey led to creating a field team of strong conservation partners who restored thousands of acres of wetlands and uplands in Wisconsin.
During that time, Jeff realized that the greatest challenge to our environment was the loss of connection between our kids and the outdoors. He donated his energy to restore that connection through Outdoor Adventure Days, an interactive experience giving school children a wet and muddy day in the field. Building on this foundation, Jeff co-founded one of the first environmentally focused charter schools with teacher Victoria Rydberg, and together, they brought the “hands-on, feet wet” philosophy to teachers and students across the state.
A pioneer in the ecosystem-based approach to restoration and a tireless advocate for conservation education, Jeff has been widely recognized for his work. Outdoor Life Magazine named him as one of the nation’s 25 most influential conservationists and he received the National Wetlands Award. The Wisconsin Senate commended Jeff with a Joint Resolution for his work with wetlands, education, and as a non-partisan advisor on natural resources.
Jeff is semi-retired and writes for Wisconsin Outdoor News and other publications. Whether he’s cutting wood, sitting in a wetland, fishing muskies, or snorkeling Spider Lake for treasure, Jeff spends as much time as possible outdoors.

Praise for Jeff Nania's BOUGH CUTTER
"Bough Cutter…like its predecessors, is a deftly written suspense thriller of a read with many an unexpected plot twist and turn. Bough Cutter once again showcases author Jeff Nania's genuine flair for originality and the kind of narrative driven storytelling style that keeps the reader riveted from first page to last." — Midwest Book Review
"Sheriff John Cabrelli encounters a stunning twist in the district he strives to protect from crime—a unique Northwoods community imbued with a palpable sense of place and having each other's backs. I highly recommend this page-turner!" — Laurie Buchanan | Author of the Sean McPherson Novels
"Nania brings his experience as a law enforcement officer and as a conservationist as he makes this thriller both accurate and interesting. Characters are well developed and eccentric and the reader can almost smell the pine trees and hear the call of a loon on Spider Lake as the plot unwinds with its twists and turns, which will keep you guessing until the last page. Readers familiar with Wisconsin's Northwoods will long to return there, and those who have never been will want to visit Namekagon County, as long as John Cabrelli is keeping it safe." — Kent Miller | Special Agent, FBI (Ret.)
