My life has taken me many places in a short amount of time, but consistently I’ve been in a mountainous environment. I do have a specialized military background in the Recon and Scout Sniper communities but it’s simply a piece of who I am. I love the outdoors and spend most of my time hunting, shooting, and living off the land when I’m not at home with my son Max. I’m here to change people that want to be changed for the better.
