As a fourth generation Montanan, I grew up in a family with a passion for the outdoors. I began fishing and hiking the mountains near Billings with my father from a very young age. My grandfather spent a considerable amount of time teaching me about ducks and game birds growing up and spurred me towards the love for hunting I have today. This journey began as bird hunting and has evolved into big game pursuits, both archery and rifle. Hunting season has become a family gathering with all weekends available spent in the field and the majority of the year spent preparing for the upcoming season and enjoying the meat from the hunt. I look forward to helping to build the hunting and shooting community at a local level and pass this passion on to the next generation.
