FILMMAKER BIO

My love for hunting and the outdoors is part of who I am and when I look back, my greatest memories are framed by adventures with my dad and my boys. Each experience is a new chapter in our ongoing adventure, filled with lessons and memories that I hope will shape my sons' lives as much as they have shaped mine.

A gentle breeze, the crunch of leaves under my boots, and the excitement in my boy’s voice as they experience mother nature. These are the moments in life I cherish and believe that the outdoors plays an integral part in lessons of resilience, respect, and situations that can humble any man.

But my passion doesn't stop at personal experiences. I strive to connect others to the outdoors with my YouTube Channel “Adventure Off Script” sharing not just tales of adventure but gear reviews, tips, tactics, and more. Through this mission, I hope to educate and inspire others to step outside, explore, and find their own connections in the vast, wild world.
