Morgan Hepler

Morgan was raised in Liberty Lake, Washington. He received a B.A. in economics from Rockhurst University in Kansas City and got his Juris Doctor and Master of Arts in economics from the University of Kansas. He also earned a certificate in Machine Learning from Cornell “to add a bit of coding to my academic resume.”

Having gained experience working for an artificial intelligence start up, doing small business and startup consulting, and practicing as a class action litigation, business, and real estate attorney, and volunteering as an English teacher with the United Nations, he started own law firm in Sandpoint, offering business, conservation, and real estate legal services.

While researching for and writing the article, "Learning From Tribal Innovations: Lessons in Climate Change Adaptation,” published with the Dean of University of Utah law School, he developed an increased interest in conservation. His work in conservation law has led to an interest in tribal conservationism.

Morgan loves to spend as much time as possible in the outdoors with his wife, Bailey, and son, Arlo.  You can find him enjoying the outdoors snowboarding, skiing, kayaking, backpacking, running, and traveling.
