I was born in Fairbanks, Alaska, but raised in the Fiji Islands for the better part of 15 years where my family worked as missionaries. As a boy, I learned the skills of traditional archery and developed a deep love for hunting and the outdoors. Returning to my home state in 2014, I was eager to experience hunting Alaska’s backcountry and the animals that call it home. Since then, I have enjoyed hunting in every way available to me from bear bait hunting to backpack-style mountain hunting. In the recent years I have become a licensed guide and am pursuing my lifelong dream of professional hunting. 

Alaska born and raised, I have lived my entire life in the great outdoors. At the age of seven I saw my first Grizzly and Black bear not more than 10 yards away while hunting with my dad. At the age of 12 I was, once again with my dad, riding my own snow-mobile on a trapline. As a young teen I was piloting an inflatable Zodiac and picking salmon out of nets in the ocean. I have grown up hunting and taking game that most hunters only dream about. Every moment I get to spend away from the city, I greatly enjoy. This life has caused me to take for granted the knowledge I have of wild things and places.
