I have shot competitive archery since I was about 7 years old and recently have become proficient with long range rifles. I am also a fishing fanatic and just recently caught a 200 lb. Striped Marlin. |

I support all the local pro-hunting wildlife organizations and attend most of the fundraisers annually. I am a life member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and also a life member of the Arizona Elk Society. I have taken part in many projects with these organizations over the years and just finished a big project for the AES in the White Mountains that I had organized which consisted of moving elk to their summer range. |
Summary of Who You Are, Your Experiences and Your Accomplishments |
I am 35 years old. My life has always revolved around hunting and fishing. At a young age I set goals for myself and to this day I am still checking off each accomplishment as I go. My biggest accomplishments are taking a spot and stalk archery Antelope, taking a 215” Mule deer, taking a spot and stalk archery Bear, experiencing a DIY Moose hunt in Alaska and taking a great bull. I have taken 8 of the 10 big game animals in Arizona, which now I am relying on the draw system to finally get my Sheep and Buffalo tags to finish. I have also helped several folks take some of the biggest bulls in the world and have helped take six 400” class bulls in the last 3 years. I have guided the largest Auction Tag bull in the state which gross scored 445”. Two of the bulls I have personally guided are top 10 bulls in the world and we have many articles written and published about our hunts in magazines. I am married to a wonderful woman who allows me the freedom to follow my dreams. My two dogs, a Black Lab and German Shorthair Pointer, are my kids at the moment and they get treated as such. Life for me is great as long as I get to continue following my dreams and hunt and fish as much as I possibly can! |
