Garrett Long
Marketing & Communications Director WSF



Garret Long serves as the Marketing and Communications Director for the Wild Sheep Foundation, joining the team in 2018. Prior to joining WSF, Garrett was the conservation liaison for SITKA Gear. He has worked with a broad range of conservation organizations, creating industry support for impactful conservation efforts. Utilizing this momentum, he has been fortunate enough to speak at a number of conservation events, stressing the importance of outdoor industry involvement in impactful conservation opportunities. Garrett was fortunate enough to be born and raised Bozeman, Montana, and has lived in Montana his entire life. Whether going for a quick fishing trip after football practice, or skipping a morning chemistry class after spotting elk on the way to school, he has always been drawn to the outdoors. Wild game meat was also the staple food source at the Long household, which instilled a very deep connection to the importance of public lands, access, and sustainable wildlife populations. While acquiring his Bachelors of Science in Health and Human Performance, he developed his class schedule to meet the requirements for medical school. However, his need for continued involvement in the outdoors surpassed his desire for a career in medicine. Without a doubt, Garrett is certain he made the right choice. Still living in Bozeman, Garrett and his wife Janna enjoy doing everything outside with their two dogs Hawk and West. Although unlikely, Hawk is a German Shorthair Pointer that excels at retrieving waterfowl, while West is a Labrador Retriever, primarily excelling at pheasant hunting. Garrett and Janna are both avid elk hunters, but look forward to the hopeful loss of their WSF < 1 Club membership in the coming years.
