Founder / Director
Steven has always been fascinated with nature. Stemming from camping,
hiking and outdoor adventures while growing up, a wild love for the
landscapes of the Western United States developed. At 15 he
decided to found the Western Lands Preservation as a way to maintain
those landscapes in their pristine natural beauty.
Today, Steven attends eleventh grade at Waterford School in Utah. When not working on WLP, Steven might be preparing a Victor Borge piano skit, experimenting with eddy currents, or using Amateur Radio to report in to the Coast Guard Auxiliary Division 7 Ham net.

Co-Founder / Director
Having started three public software companies, lived and worked around the
world, there is nothing like preserving what is falling away today.
After a rewarding career in software, marketing, and sales, John Whitney
continues management in software development. I'm thrilled to be able
to assist Steven a smidgen with Western Lands Preservation. Steven,
thank you for running the show.
Besides assisting Western Lands Preservation in his spare time, John may be restoring a radio, tinkering with a Teletype, reading rare history books, or heading into the woods with family.
