Kellie's husband, Gary Kinsland, originally from the coast of Oregon, considers himself a naturalized Cajun and an avid outdoorsman who adores Louisiana's "Sportsman's Paradise." After serving 45 years as a Professor of Geophysics at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Gary retired in 2022, and he continues his work at the university as professor emeritus. His research focuses on topics such as the KT Impact (the comet that killed the dinosaurs), the Vermilion River, coalbed methane, and the formation of the Gulf of Mexico. Gary is also a Louisiana state-certified expert witness. He is passionate about sharing his love for Louisiana with others.
