About
Expeditions:
Greenland Atmospheric Studies
Occupation:
Teacher
Organization:
Billings Senior High
Craig Beals has spent countless hours chasing game, camping in the mountains, and fly-casting for rainbow trout while growing up in Montana. These experiences gave him an early appreciation for nature and a passion for the outdoors, which continues today. Upon graduating from Montana State University with a degree in Biology, Mr. Beals took a teaching position at Billings Senior High School to teach Earth Science where he continues to share his fervor for the outdoors and his enthusiasm for science with young people. Mr. Beals also makes sure to enjoy the simple things in life including his family, friends, and beloved dog, “Danger”. He lives by the motto, “If you are going to clap, make some noise”. He hopes that his PolarTREC experience will enable him to be immersed in practical, purposeful science.

It is GREAT to be home. I didn't realize how much I missed some of the small things like: green grass, hot showers, walking in sandals, and...the oddest of all...DARKNESS (my body is having trouble with that one!).
