William Lokey has enjoyed a 50-year career of travel and adventure, supporting science in the Polar Regions and helping communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from all kinds of disasters. During his summers in college (he has a degree in Sculpture from Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio), he worked for the Juneau Icefield Research Program supporting student training and research programs. Later, he managed logistics and provided survival training for the US Antarctic Program, doing four tours, wintering over on three occasions. After Antarctica, William had a 40-year career in emergency management, working at the local, state, and federal levels and as a private sector consultant. He has managed preparedness, response, and recovery operations for hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, winter storms, volcanic eruptions, wildland fires, and terrorist attacks. He has shared his expertise throughout the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ecuador, Singapore, Thailand and Japan. William has climbed mountains and led expeditions to peaks in the United States, Canada, France, Mexico, New Zealand, Antarctica, and Africa. Recently retired, he now enjoys travel, mountaineering, skiing, and sharing his experiences with schools, service clubs, cruise ships and other organizations.
