Meet the Expert: “Airstreamer” Mike Conner
Meet Mike Conner, a senior project director for The Nature Conservancy and devoted Airstreamer, who’s as enthusiastic about protecting the environment as he is about Airstreams.
It’s no secret that Airstream trailers are an American icon—and that we here at Sunset are slightly obsessed with them. These sleek “metal tents” have been around since the 1930s and never go out of style. In fact, they inspire an unrivaled passion among those who painstakingly restore vintage models to their original beauty. One such devoted Airstreamer is Mike Conner, a senior project director for The Nature Conservancy, who’s as enthusiastic about protecting the environment as he is about Airstreams. We caught up with Mike to learn more about his dual passions.
