I was born and raised in Central Illinois on my family's farm. I started hunting when I was 12.  One day I was in Wal-Mart and saw a bow.  I told my mother I would like one for my birthday. When my birthday came there was my 1st bow, I started shooting then and never looked back. That first season I shot a button buck and the obsession for big whitetail racks bloomed from there. I went several years after that before I shot another deer because I was already holding out for a trophy. It was several years after that before I got a gun and started gun hunting, but my true love has always been bowhunting. I have been privileged to have gotten to travel the country the last 6 years chasing other big game and my love for hunting just keeps growing. I am now a huge QDM supporter and firmly believe in managing our wildlife assets. My goal for bow hunting has always been to shoot a whitetail buck big enough to make it in the Boone & Crockett record book.
     I have a lovely wife who supports my love for the outdoors and 3 great kids who also love the outdoors. I am looking forward to taking the next step in my life as an outdoor advocate and a mentor hunter for my kids.
