Paul Jensen

Paul Jensen lives in ranch country near Daniel, Wyoming, where he moved eight years ago from Washington, D.C. He traded in a thiry-year career in national politics and business for a life-long dream of living and working as a cowboy. Since arriving in Wyoming, Paul has worked as a cowboy, substitute teacher, a ski-lift operator and for the past five years as Executive Director of Rendezvous Pointe, a senior and community center in Sublette County. But he still rides for the Pape Ranches near Daniel and is proud of that ranch's tradition and success.

Jensen has written three successful books: Hard and Noble Lives: A Living Tradition of Cowboys and Ranchers in Wyoming's Hoback Basin, The State of Equality In the Equality State: Saving the Best of the West in Wyoming, and All in a Day's Ride- Life Along Horse Creek in the Wyoming Range: An Enduring Legacy.
