I was fortunate to have been raised by parents that valued the outdoor experience in a geographic area with public lands and public waters.

​

As a result, I spent my youth hunting and fishing, and chose a career in natural resources.

​

In my late teens through late thirties, I focused on chasing geese. Occasionally hunting deer during firearm season on public lands 'in the big woods' as part of a deer shack.​

​

Meanwhile I worked as a professional forester and aerial firefighter plus side jobs to save money for land purchases.

​

With land ownership I switched my attention to forestry and habitat improvements prioritized for wildlife, specifically deer and birds. Designing hunting strategies went hand in hand with the improvements.

​

Why choose me? My background in forestry, timber sales, habitat improvement, hunting strategy, asset management, and land ownership provide a strong base.​

​

My work has been published in leading deer hunting magazines (Whitetail Life (2), Deer and Deer Hunting - fall 2026).

​

​Most importantly - ​I've actually done it, with my own time + money + risk, in a lot of places, to great success. Hunting Strategy is what kills mature deer. Property design and habitat work set the stage.
