I've had a passion for the outdoors since i could walk. Growing up on a farm i would say gave me the passion i still carry today. I started shooting a recurve bow when i was 5 years old. My main passion is archery hunting but i have been known to pick up a rifle now and then.
I've been fortunate enough to have taken over 65+ animals with a bow of which 12 or so have qualified for pope and young. We started a cnc machine and manufacturing facility back in 1999 where we have manufactured products for several big name companies in the archery, camping and hunting industry.
In 2005 I started a small archery proshop while pursing my business degree here in idaho. My archery store has grown to be very successful and has stayed strong through, tough times, economic conditions, competition and box stores. Today we offer 5 major bowlines and thousands of archery accesories. I attended and was a graduate of Bowtech University and learned what i know from experience and the people i surrounded myself around in the industry.
I am sponsored by Vital Gear, Rocky Mountain Packs, Boarmasters and Invisible Hunter Scent Elimination.
