Biography
Born and raised in the City of White Plains, I didn’t grow up in your typical hunting environment. Then again, bowhunting the suburbs isn’t an option most people consider. Growing up with two beagles, rabbit hunting was a Sunday tradition, but it wasn’t until I was 16 that I went on my first deer hunt.
Deer hunting became an instant passion and two years later I picked up my first bow. Bowhunting started as a way to extend my deer season, but after arrowing my first deer in the suburbs of Connecticut I was hooked. There were no corn fields or food plots, just mansions and thin strips of cover for the deer to hide in. I became obsessed with archery and studying how the deer traveled through these tiny suburban wood lots. In 2007 I created NYBowhunter.com as a blog to share my outdoor experiences with others.
As I became more in tune with bowhunting, I began to review products I used in the field to let others know what was working for me and what wasn’t. Filming was the next step in my outdoor progression and the expansion of NYBowhunter.com soon followed. I don’t know where this journey will take me, but the adventure always keeps me coming back for more.
