As a child growing up within a mile of Indian Lake it has gave me many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Fishing quickly became an everyday habit and still is. At 12 years old I went Waterfowl Hunting for the first time and have been hooked for the last 25 years. Being able to share this with my son has made it even better.

I guide Waterfowl Hunts and hunt with family and friends at the beginning of season. Then it's off to Texas at Stanfield Outfitters for 3 month to guide Waterfowl Hunts. When I'm not guiding I also love to hunt Coyotes, Bobcats, Turkey and run my own GSP on Pheasants.

I've been Drake Waterfowl Field Expert for the past two years which has given me the opportunity to become more successful with my waterfowl career. Last year I started competing in competition calling and look forward to doing more. Being a waterfowl guide you rely on your equipment to withstand everyday hunting in the toughest hunting conditions. It is a must for me to be successful and that's why I believe in Drake Waterfowl products.
