Bio

I initially began a career in Wildlife, but enjoyed hunting so much that I was afraid the field would take too much of my hunting time. So now I work as a probation/parole officer in the city I live in and really enjoy working as a fireman. But I am most passionate in my spare time with filming for Drury Outdoors. My partner Chris and I were given an incredible opportunity to be a part of Dream Season 2 and to now film professionally with the company. I really enjoy filming people do what they love best and I think I enjoy watching someone else achieve dreams through a viewfinder as much as if it were me taking that animal. I have to say that I have one of the most understanding wives in the world. My father introduced me to the outdoors at the early age of 6. I can remember him carrying me across small creeks and sloughs to hunt ducks and geese. At age 10 I took my first whitetail, a 1 1/2 year old 5 point. I will never forget that evening, and will always cherish the fact that he gave me one of the best gifts in life. I have been pursuing whitetails and turkeys ever since and have recently enjoyed the sport of predator hunting/trapping. My best buck to date is a 150 3/8 giant 265lb Kansas deer, that was 6 1/2 years old. As long as I can walk or crawl I will be hunting to the day I die.
