My grandfather and uncles taught my older brother and I how to hunt at a very early age. They spent numerous hours being patient and sacrificing their own quality time on our behalf. And for that, I will always be thankfull.

My older brother was my best friend and hunting partner. We were truly inseperable during the hunting season. My life was torn apart when my brother tragicly passed away . I was 13 years old, but my love for hunting only grew stronger . I would feel as though he was still there when I would get into the woods. The next fall I took my first whitetail with a bow and I have taken 24 bucks with my bow since that time.
My oldest son Coltin is 12 and is my hunting partner now. He loves to hunt for whitetails and turkeys also. He has already taken better deer and turkey than I did at his age. That makes me excited about the years to come. We will be doing our best to capture his hunts on video in the future and I wish him great success. He has already taken a deer with a crossbow, but this year will be his first year hunting with a compound. Eli, my youngest son, is 2 and watches hunting before bedtime every night. I wonder where he gets that !

I spend the majority of the fall in he midwest chasing my whitetail dreams and it would not be possible without an understanding, and patient wife. Thanks Bran, I love you, and your the greatest.

I have been watching the Drury's since they began producing videos. It was alway's a far-fetched dream to hunt and videograph whitetails with the Drury Team. But thanks to the Lord, my dreams are becoming a reality. Most kids grow up with sports hero's and that it great. As for myself, well my hero's have always been deerhunters. I would like to thank Rod Owen and Mark & Terry Drury for the opportunity to be a part of this Team. I am looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity of filming and harvesting some great bucks in the near future. But most important, I thank God for the opportunity. Just goes to show you ,that through him, anything can be possible.
