Jeff Guidry began his career as a rock and rhythm-and-blues guitarist who has played with artists like Brian Wilson (of Beach Boys fame) and guitarist Roy Buchanan.

His spare time spent volunteering for the Sarvey Wildlife Center in Washington, and his years working with a bald eagle, Freedom, led to his book, An Eagle Named Freedom: My True Story of a Remarkable Friendship (William Morrow / HarperCollins).

He's now the President of Sarvey Wildlife Care Center and sits on the board of directors for two other wildlife organizations.
