Growing up in central Wisconsin, I found my love for the outdoors early on, thanks to my father, who took me hunting and fishing every chance he got. Those experiences planted the seed for a lifelong passion that’s grown into both a personal mission and a career path.

Today, I manage our family land for whitetail deer, train my two Labradors for duck, upland, and shed hunting, and chase trout on Wisconsin’s inland streams with a fly rod in hand. I also try to schedule as many out-of-state trips as I can to pursue different adventures and experiences. Through my media brand, Growing Wild TV, I share these adventures—along with the joy of exploring new places—with anyone who wants to follow along.

Professionally, I work as a creative producer for Cuddeback Digital, a trail camera company in Wisconsin capturing stories that connect people to the outdoors. More importantly, my focus now is creating a legacy for my children, and instilling in them the same appreciation for the wild places and adventures that shaped me.
