Jane Tollefsrud has enjoyed great diversity in her teaching career - ranging from being the Science Specialist for grades K-6 in a large, public school in Minnesota to tutoring K-12, multi-age classes in remote villages of Alaska. She is a dedicated educator and respectful “Global Citizen,” incorporating into her lessons the rich experiences gained from a lifetime of traveling around the world.

Since moving to Alaska in the 1970s, Jane has claimed it as “home-base." Her commitment of working to defend threatened wilderness areas was strengthened while living north of the Arctic Circle for two years. There she observed first-hand the constant, vivid proof of how magnificent bounty is supported by fragile ecosystems.

A devoted environmentalist, Jane embraces the “Think Globally, Act Locally” philosophy, working and volunteering for several local organizations whose mission is to protect the environment. In 2006, while working under contract with World Wildlife Fund, she enthusiastically joined the international movement addressing Climate Change.

In a joint effort with her husband of 22 years, Global Fever represents a culmination of specialized skills, unique adventures, and life-long passions.

DeWaine Tollefsrud has been an artist, naturalist and educator for over twenty five years, diversifying and blending these careers into a creative and distinctive manifestation of his passions. His enthusiasm for the intricacies of the natural world coupled with his extensive, international field experiences have given him a unique perspective on the inter-relationships of the world’s ecosystems, a knowledge he loves to share.

Whether leading eco-tours to the tropical forests of Central and South America, inspiring visitors aboard an Alaskan whale-watching vessel, or teaching children about fragile ocean environments, DeWaine shines in his ability to excite audiences of all ages.  His professional experiences include 12 years as the lead interpretive naturalist with the Minnesota Zoo’s outreach education department, and designing entertaining and educational exhibits for zoos, natural history museums and nature centers - his latest favorites being “Spider City”, the 2007-08 exhibit at the Los Angeles Zoo and “Dr. Entomo’s Palace of Exotic Wonders," a popular traveling bug exhibit currently making its way across the United States.

Collaborating with Jane, DeWaine’s focus of spreading the urgent messages contained in Global Fever reflect his life-long commitment as an ardent environmentalist.
