PORT MATILDA By day, Brian Richardson is the owner-operator of Nittany Valley Varmints, LLC, facing off with the likes of feisty raccoons, smelly skunks and sometimes even dangerous rattlesnakes.
After work, he’s the laid-back host of “Trapper and the Gang,” a podcast in which he interviews other Centre County small business owners.
He’s also a devoted dad, whose nine-year-old daughter, Zoe, likes to ride along on his wildlife adventures whenever possible.
Before moving to State College with his wife, Kim, in 2013, Richardson’s primary wildlife experience came from working as an elk guide in Colorado and as a hunting guide in New York.
