Stephany Seay
Co-founder of Roam Free Nation, Board President
Stephany Seay has been working in service to the last wild buffalo for over 20 years. Born in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and raised in Virginia, Stephany learned about the continued war against wild buffalo in 1996 and has been advocating for them ever since. In response to their struggle, she moved to Montana on New Year’s Day 2004, where she became the media coordinator for Buffalo Field Campaign, with whom she parted ways after 18 years of service over philosophical differences. Stephany has nearly 20 years of experience standing with the buffalo, is an avid wildlife photographer, backcountry skier, and horsewoman. She is a member of Deep Green Resistance, and co-founder of Roam Free Nation.
Stephany trusts that the buffalo have called us not just to help defend them, but to help us save us from ourselves from the unsustainable and selfish creation of industrial civilization.

Cindy Rosin, Board Secretary and interim Treasurer
Cindy Rosin is an artist and activist from New York City. She teaches children in the summers and works odd jobs throughout the year to enable her to spend time volunteering for the earth and her inhabitants. She spends her springs in Montana with the buffalo, volunteers for ocean conservation, and when back in New York, helps to organize freegan.info – an organization dedicated to exposing the waste and overconsumption of our society.
She lives on a houseboat in Rockaway, Queens, and spends her time there in the company of the fish, seabirds, turtles, jellyfish and other creatures of the Jamaica Bay estuary. She has had the honor of standing with the buffalo for seventeen seasons in the field, and is dedicated to fighting for a future where they take back their lands on their own terms.
The late Lee Fulton, 1975-2025, former Board Treasurer
Roam Free Nation mourns the loss of our dear friend, our treasurer, and a stalwart buffalo warrior, “Geddy” Lee Fulton. At just fifty years old, he passed away unexpectedly in August after suffering a medical emergency while traveling. His Roam Free Nation Family is in shock at this sudden loss.
“Geddy” Lee was a staunch advocate for the buffalo for the last eight years. He had been a field volunteer, a bookkeeper, a grant writer, and our treasurer in service to wild buffalo. He guided our organization, and his own life, with an infallible sense of ethics and detailed organization.
Lee Fulton received a BA in Business Administration and Economics from Austin College and an MS in Information Science from the University of North Texas. He was a licensed Texas Commercial Driver and licensed New York State Public Vessel Operator. He was a National Park Service licensed shuttle driver in Glacier National Park and a licensed guide in Yellowstone National Park. He had nonprofit accounting and grantwriting expertise as well as digital imaging experience.
He was intending to return to graduate school to pursue concurrently a GIS and Geospatial Graduate Certificate from the University of Texas Permian Basin and a Digital Content Management Graduate Certificate from the University of North Texas. He was an honorably discharged United States Naval Officer and Life Member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He enjoyed wildlife, disc golf, and whiffleball.
We are lucky, and the buffalo are lucky, that Lee’s path brought him to us, to Montana, and to the fight for wild buffalo. He will be forever missed.
