My introduction to the outdoor world began when I started dating Joe in 2004. His love for the outdoors just rubbed off on me. The more time I spent with him in the timber the more I enjoyed it. Then in 2005 when Joe took me to St. Louis for the annual Fall Meeting and Awards Dinner I was so blown away with the Awards Production and seeing all the footage that all the Team members laid down I knew then I had to try to hunt myself.

Then in Feb. 2006 when Joe and I were at the ATA Show in Atlanta, Ga. While at dinner Mark asked if Joe and I would be interested in doing Dream Season Couples. So Joe and I agreed to give it a try! I loved every minute of the my first season! The friends I made and the experience of taking my first deer with a bow and my first with a muzzleloader was awesome. I was also lucky enough to take my
first turkey as well!!

My introduction to the Cacth-A-Dream Organization and making all my new friends was the biggest blessing of the season. I am looking forward to all my seasons ahead because I am truly hooked on the sport and now I consider myself a hunter and I am looking forward to sharing the outdoors with my family and friends and hope to introduce everyone that I come in touch with to the outdoor world that we all love!!
