A boy comes to me with a spark of interest, I feed the spark and it becomes a flame. I feed the flame and it becomes a fire. I feed the fire and it becomes a roaring blaze.

When people ask me how I got “here”…I never really have a good answer. I didn’t come from a family that hunted or farmed…quite the opposite. We didn’t hike the mountains or go camping. We went to sporting events and to Disney World. We sat poolside in condos, not in cabins by the lake. So, I can’t really explain where the passion came from. I do know, it’s grown exponentially since the first time I put a gun in my hand, and animal on the ground. Since then, I’ve done everything in my power to immerse myself completely in the culture, the history, and the way of the life, that the outdoors provides. This is my journey, with all the bumps along the way, that led me to the outdoors, and hopefully gets others, off their couches, and into the woods.
