| John Waller POTY Co-Founder and Chair President, Uncage the Soul Productions  |
 |
| John Waller owns and operates Uncage the Soul Productions, a video production company dedicated to bringing unique and exceptional stories to life. From 14,000-foot mountain summits to claustrophobic cave passages, John brings his love of adventure, creative eye, and his camera gear. In 1999 - 2000, John worked for the MESD Outdoor School Program as a Program Leader and saw first hand how a week of Outdoor School had a tremendous positive impact on 6th graders, high school student leaders, and faculty who participated. As John's career shifted from education to visual media, that connection with Outdoor School remained. After co-establishing Photo of the Year in 2002, John realized that it was a perfect opportunity for him, and his new video production business, to give back to the Outdoor School community. John adds a diverse and well-rounded resume to the team. From battling forest fires with the Prineville Interagency Hotshot Crew, performing spotted owl surveys for the Forest Service, working as a Tour Manager for a local tour and travel company, teaching 9th grade science at David Douglas High School, and guiding whitewater rafting and mountaineering trips, John has logged some solid life experience. |
