Don Harold has been a cowboy, a farmer, a truck driver, and an agricultural engineer. After graduating from Arkansas State University, he took off for the remote Sandhills of Nebraska, where he worked on a ranch for three years, wrangling cattle and hanging out with an old cowpoke who loved to tell stories. Don was born and raised on a rice farm in Clay County, Arkansas. In 2008 he retired to the same farm where he was born, spending half the year in rural Tucson, Arizona, where he enjoys long walks in the Sonora Desert with his photographer wife, Carlyon.
