Fortunately, with my fulltime and part-time job, I have had the opportunity to travel the world. That said, my roots are deep in WI.

Hunting no doubt whitetail and fishing I am a sucker for fishing big largemouths.

A well planned weekend in the woods. Experiencing all that the Lord has provided for us.

6. What’s your favorite sports team?

Milwaukee Brewers. Go Crew!

7. What’s your favorite beer?

That’s like asking me what my favorite lure is. Just too many to choose from. I am a craft beer nerd! So that said, the holy grail beer for me was the limited run of Bell’s Batch 9000. For an everyday beer, I often reach for Good City Brewing Mosaic IPA. Delicious!

8. What’s your favorite gun/bow?

That’s a tough one but the current bow I have now is hard to beat which is a Bear Kuma. My Xpedition Xcentric 7 is a solid bow as well. Not much of a rifle hunter, so I will say my Beretta Trap special which has helped me get a few 25s over the years.

9. What’s your favorite wild game meal?

Bear. So many ways to prepare a great bear steak. Just love the flavor!

10. Favorite music genre? Artist?

Oh boy… all over the map with this one. Genre I am more of a metal guy but love my classic and I mean classic country. 50’s and 60’s! Favorite band no doubt is Clutch. Straight forward rock and roll since they started in 1991 and are still putting out great new music today with the same 4 members that started it all.

11. Dog or cat person? Breed? Name of pet?

Dog for sure. I’m a lab guy. Kya is my current female British lab trained for shed hunting and tracking wounded whitetails.

Passion. Something that my father set forward for me and is what drives me in everything I do on a serious level. I thank the Lord every day that I have the burning passion to chase my dreams.
