Outdoor Stewardship and Naval Brotherhood: Jim D. Paulk’s Lessons from a Life Well-Lived

On this episode of the Outdoor Adventure Series! Today, we’re thrilled to introduce our remarkable guest, Jamed D. Paulk —a 92-year-old author, lifelong storyteller, and passionate angler whose military service and tireless conservation work illustrate perseverance and personal growth on a path full of growth and opportunity.

We dive into Jim's adventures: from his time at the Naval Academy, which became the foundation for his acclaimed book, “Shaking up the World: Stories of the Naval Academy Class of 1957,” to his influential role in California’s environmental legislation and his unwavering love for fishing.

Join us as Jim recounts the resilience and ingenuity behind his classmate stories (including moon landings and close calls on the sea), the thrill of organizing statewide conservation campaigns, and his transition to outdoor writing.
