My Oregonian roots run deep, spanning six generations, and I take great pride in my heritage. I grew up in Redmond, a city in Central Oregon where the Cascade Mountains meet the high desert. I've always been driven to help others, which led me to serve as a pastor in Redmond for more than a decade, coach track and field at Redmond High School for several years, work as a realtor, and guide hunts throughout the western United States.

Beyond my passion for serving others, family is everything to me. Being a devoted husband and father to my two children is my highest priority. Archery hunting mule deer and elk has been a favorite pastime since childhood and remains one of my greatest passions today. Hunting has taught me invaluable lessons in patience, perseverance, humility, selflessness, and respect for nature. My father, who introduced me to hunting, remains my hunting partner, and we're always planning our next adventure together.

Through hunting, I've learned how to navigate both success and failure and appreciate the value of surrounding myself with people who genuinely celebrate one another's accomplishments, regardless of who pulls the trigger or releases the arrow. Hunting continues to provide challenge, excitement, and personal growth. I've hunted throughout several states across the United States, but Alaska stands out as my favorite destination.

One of my long-standing hunting goals has been to complete the North American Super 10. After harvesting my mountain goat in 2025, I now need only a desert sheep to reach that milestone. With a desert sheep hunt scheduled for December 2026, I am excited for the opportunity to complete the Super 10 and celebrate the culmination of years of dedication, adventure, and conservation-minded hunting.

While achieving that goal will be a significant accomplishment, I am even more excited about what comes next. Once the Super 10 is complete, I look forward to spending more time hunting with my children, helping them develop a deep appreciation and respect for the outdoors, and creating lasting memories together in the field. I also look forward to expanding my hunting adventures internationally and experiencing new landscapes, cultures, and wildlife around the world.

For me, hunting has always been about far more than trophies. It is about family, friendships, shared experiences, personal growth, and a lifelong connection to the outdoors. The memories made, lessons learned, and relationships strengthened along the way are what make every adventure worthwhile.
