Alexis Martin, McCall

Alexis and her husband live in McCall Idaho and she is retired from the US Forest Service after a 30-year career in Wildland Fire Management.  Since retiring, she now spends a lot more time outdoors with the seasons determining her activities.  Spring is spent getting her boots muddy while out turkey hunting and mushroom foraging.  Summers are spent hiking, fishing high mountain lakes, and mountain biking.  Fall is all about hunting for elk, deer, or any other tag she may be fortunate enough to draw.  Winters are devoted to skiing.  She continues to do part time work, teaching Nordic skiing in the winter at the Bear Basin Nordic Center in McCall and working on wildfires across the country during the fire season.

Alexis joined the Idaho Wildlife Federation because she wants to help support the organization in the work they do advocating for the conservation of wildlife and public lands, and for the rights of hunters and anglers.  IWF works diligently on these issues in the state of Idaho with a dedicated, hardworking staff, and she is grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing organization.

ADAM RATNER, BOISE

Adam grew up a quick Schwinn ride away from a local lake where he learned the frustration of fishing. Undaunted by his early experience, he took up fly-fishing in his mid-30s and has pursued the sport and trout ever since.  After reading Michael Pollan’s books in his mid-40’s, Adam announced to his wife that it was time everyone in the family became a vegetarian or he became a hunter.  Thankfully his wife opted for hunting.  So, Adam learned to hunt and has taken to it with a zeal usually only associated with a religious convert. 

Adam is a resident of Boise, where he lives with his wife and two Vizslas.  He earned a B.A. in Economics from the University of California at Irvine, a J.D. and an L.LM. in Taxation from the University of San Diego School of Law.  He happily retired in 2021
