A serendipitous internship at National Geographic put Taylors Falls, Minnesota, native J.J. Kelley on his path to destiny. Since then, he's traveled to all seven continents, led the first expedition to open the tomb of Christ in 800 years, and helped increase elephant numbers in Africa. The University of Minnesota Duluth grad says cross-country skiing is how he unwinds. With a new show debut Dec 29, 2019, on Travel Channel and a genuine love for the planet, J.J. says he is in continual shock that he lives his dream job.
