He has multiple Pope and Young entries from several states. For the past 20 years he has documented his adventures, writing for a variety of outdoor magazines and websites. He is the former editor and columnist for Extreme Elk Magazine. His first big game experience came when he was 19, bowhunting for the first time in Wyoming and harvesting a fork-horn mule deer. That solidified his passion for bowhunting. A few years later when he shot his first bull elk with a bow, a new obsession began.
