He had worked in mountain and desert settings in Wyoming, Utah, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, and Kenya, as well as the Northeastern US.

He holds an undergraduate degree in the field of biology, and a graduate degree in systems counseling. Among his interests is the relationship between adventure, nature and psychological happiness. Charlie enjoys every season as top goat here at Wind River Pack Goats, working to continue its tradition of excellent land use and client satisfaction. |

Jim Brabec attended a course on goat packing with John in 1996, where he proved to be an excellent goat handler, and has been hooked ever since. Jim has an undergraduate degree in Environmental Science, and an extensive background in agriculture, horticulture and with domestic farm animals. Combined with his love and experience in the out of doors, goat packing comes very natural for him. Jim, a Nebraska Cornhusker by birth, lives with his wife and five future goat handlers (children) in Olathe, Kansas.

John Mionczynski is widely recognized as the originator of goatpacking in America. He discovered and began developing the techniques used today by Wind River Pack Goats while studying Rocky Mountain big horn sheep for the US Forest Service. He currently works for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, as well as pursuing his many natural history projects. He continues to be consultant and trip leader for Wind River Pack Goats. He is the author of The Pack Goat, the authoritative book on goat packing. |

Gary Keene has some ten plus years of goat packing experience. A wildlife biologist by training, Gary now owns and runs Ancient Ways, a traditional taxidermy and native crafts center on the Wind River Indian Reservation. When Gary worked for the US Forest Service, he introduced the idea of using goats to support their research. Today Gary works one or two trips a year for Wind River Pack Goats.

Dave Keller has been a goat packer in the Fort Collins, Colorado area for a number of years. Having the occasion to attend a slide show put on by John, he and John became good friends. Like John, he has a background in wildlife biology. He seems always to be the first to spot that big horn sheep or golden eagle (well, maybe just after the goats). Dave is a very sound outdoors person and the new ideas and energy he brings to WRPG are an excellent addition. |
