James Prosek Biography

James Prosek is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on May 23, 1975 in Stamford, Connecticut, United States. James Prosek, born May 23, 1975, is an American naturalist, writer, and artist. He was born in Connecticut, and grew up in Easton, CT. His father was born in Santos in Brazil, and his mother in Prague in Czechoslovakia. He graduated from Yale University in 1997.

The World Trout Initiative has donated $2 million to more than 200 fish conservation groups since 2005, when the program was launched.

Prosek is the author of eleven books for both adults and children, including Ocean Fishes (Rizzoli, 2012) and The Day My Mother Left (Simon & Schuster, 2006). He has written for the New York Times and National Geographic Magazine.

Allen considers Prosek a kind of outsider, comparing him in that sense to the British ceramicist-artist Grayson Perry who hung Prosek’s work in the 250th Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London. “In art,” he writes, “Perry and Prosek don’t just challenge the conventional. They ignore it.”

Prosek and Patagonia founder Yvon Chuinard co-founded “World Trout”, a conservation project that raises funds for coldwater habitat conservation in 2004.
