Marty Essen is an American naturalist, author, photographer, and professional speaker. He has written four books, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico, Time Is Irreverent, and Time Is Irreverent 2: Jesus Christ, Not Again!

Early life

Essen was born in Duluth, Minnesota, United States.[1] He attended Duluth East High School and University of Minnesota Duluth.

Career

Essen worked as a radio announcer at WEBC-AM[2] and KQDS-FM.[3] In 1982, he moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he ran two music talent management agencies, National Talent Associates[2] and Twin City Talent.[4] In 1996, Essen moved to Victor, Montana to found Essen Communications Corporation, a local telephone company, and later became an author and a college speaker.[5]

His first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet, became an Amazon #1 Best-Seller in Animals[6][7] and a Minneapolis Star-Tribune Top-10 Green Book.[8] He performs a live college show, Around the World in 90 Minutes, based on Cool Creatures, Hot Planet.[9] One notable adventure, documented in both his first book and his live show, is surviving a hippo attack in Zimbabwe.[10][11]

Essen's nature photography is featured prominently in his books and live show. His outdoor photographs are also in Deb Essen's book, Easy Weaving with Supplemental Warps: Overshot, Velvet, Shibori, and More.[12] Magazines publishing his photos include Reptiles Magazine[13] and Handwoven Magazine.[14]

Essen's third book, Time Is Irreverent, is a science-fiction political-comedy. According to the author's bio, "The switch in genres doesn't mean a switch in ideals. Like all of Marty's books, it reflects his values of protecting human rights and the environmentand does so with a wry sense of humor."[15]

Personal life

Essen resides in Victor, Montana and is married to weaving designer and author Deb Essen.[16]
