I am a full time carpenter and part time student at Southeast Missouri State University, where I am pursuing a degree in Marketing Management and Business.
At a very early age I was introduced to duck hunting by my uncle who let me tag along on a hunt, on a Northwestern Missouri public lake. This was my very first duck hunt and I really had no idea at the time what to expect or what I was getting into - since then I haven't looked back or been the same.
Whether it would be competing in calling contests during the summer or doing some early season scouting, and of course hunting almost every day of our 60 day duck season here in Missouri. Hunting for me has gone way beyond the obsession; it is something that I will always enjoy. It has created so many memories and good friends and to me these are things you can't replace or relive. It seems like I always have ducks on my mind and its become a annual ritual to better myself in this sport and I enjoy every minute of it! When I was told was going to have the opportunity to be a part of the Drake Team that was just "the icing on the cake".
My best contest achievements to date are:
1st place: 2007 Grand American Novice duck
1st place: 2006 North Star Novice duck
3rd place: 2006 Bayou De chein regional duck
