LAS VEGAS – Halfway through a year turned upside down by a viral catastrophe, it only seemed fitting that Ryan Angell’s best-laid plans would be disrupted by yet another natural event that spawned a low-grade tornado, which ripped through a supermarket parking lot just a mile or so down the road.
He had thought about making the biggest move of his life several months earlier, when he invited Morgan Bettes to go on a location shoot with him to the Florida Everglades. Ryan was videotaping the exploits of barefoot Myakka City Burmese python hunter Dusty Crum, star of Discovery Channel’s “Guardians of the Glades” series.
