Being raised around a small ranch in Idaho has had me outdoors my entire life. As a kid I can remember shooting everything that I could that was around the ranch: rock chucks, ground squirrels, and multiple other varmints. If I wasn’t at some kind of sports practice, I was hunting waterfowl with my dad. Due to harvesting crops in the fall, I could only rifle hunt elk during the late season. After high school I got into law enforcement and dove head first into archery hunting. I became addicted to bow hunting elk in the rut! Since then I have hunted numerous species with both a rifle and a bow. About the same time I graduated high school I got into backpacking and fell in love with living out of a pack. I truly enjoy getting into country that takes your breath away and makes you have to pause, thanking God for his creation. There is something uniquely special about waking up from a back country camp, making coffee and watching the sun rise on God’s beautiful country. This love for living out of a pack and chasing wild game in remarkable country has led to a desire for quality gear. Having this passion for difficult hunts has led to a lot of experiences and memories that I will never forget. These memories consist of filling my own tags, but I have even more great memories helping my friends and family fill theirs. Everyone enjoys filling a tag of their own, but true happiness for me is seeing someone else’s hard work come to fruition. I enjoy sharing these experiences with people close to me and recently have been blessed with a little boy who I can’t wait to share my passion with.
