There are occasions when people, mainly men, will message or comment asking me out on a date. 'I'm straight, but I find it very sweet and very flattering. They all liked the photo and shared it and before I knew it I had hundreds of followers. 'It turns out she has a lot of gay buddies and they all went wild for it. 'My friend felt it was a good idea and I thought, 'Why not?'' he said. 'As kids we ran around naked, so I've never been shy and there's nothing quite like taking a dip completely naked - you feel at one with the world.Īnd in May last year, he took up his friend's suggestion and started posing pictures of himself working naked on Instagram under the alias, The Naked Rancher. 'It was here that I discovered the wonders of geothermal hot baths, as there are dozens of these incredible hot water holes dotted around The Rockies and most have signs saying clothing optional. 'Instead of using my post grad degree, I became quite the handy man and that eventually led to me taking over from my dad at the ranch,' he said. Living on and off in the guest wing of his parents' five-bedroom house since graduating in 2017, he became ranch manager the following year but, despite their close relationship, he has not told his parents he is a naturist. 'We have 200 cattle that need seeing to all year round, we have a huge hay operation and logging season requires a hell of a lot of man power.' 'It's a big old chunk of land for the old man to manage on his own,' he said. Using his savings, in 2015 he funded a post graduate degree studying renewable energy development at the University of Montana - a stone's throw from his parents' ranch, where he spent weekends working the land. 'I was in my late 20s, though, and enjoyed how much money I was making but, after three years, it was time to get out.'
He worked on the oil rig for three years to pay off his student debt and save some money before going back to the University of Montana to study renewable energy development
He said: 'I was a rig geologist, but in all honesty I didn't really enjoy it. I would help with the drilling before the oil started being rigged.
'He'd been a businessman his whole life and it was his time to enjoy his golden years.'Īfter graduating in 2010, Dick spent three years working on an oil rig, clearing his student debt and saving. 'It was always a dream of my dad's to move to the mountains and have his own ranch,' Dick explained. Impressed by their son's beautiful surroundings, at the start of 2009, Dick's parents decided to leave Florida and relocate to the bordering state of Montana. With the Rocky Mountains just a short drive away from his university campus, for the next three years Dick threw himself into his studies. He said: 'I'd always enjoyed the outdoors and science was my preferred subject at school, so I wanted a profession that would let me do both.' 'It was there that I started to build a connection with nature.'īrainy, too, Dick loved science and, in September 2007 won a place at the University of Wyoming to study geology. The keen naturist, pictured admiring the spectacular view, studied geology at the University of Wyoming from 2007 - where the Rocky Mountains were just a short drive away
