Jeff Sommerfeld—Co-Founder, Co-Editor-in-Chief of Sky Island Journal and host of its companion podcast, Voices from the Sky—is an educator and lifelong learner who believes the two are inextricably linked. His reading palette is as diverse as his professional writing background; he developed successful litigation strategies for Fortune 500 clients, secured millions of dollars in grant funding for nonprofit organizations, and held the role of Lead Writer for a professional sports website. With over a decade of teaching experience, he has served graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Arizona and secondary students throughout the United States. Born and raised in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, he and his wife reside near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with their dogs, Miller, Leinie, and Summit.
