Summary
For as long as I can remember, I have been an avid outdoorsman. For many years, I have worked as a professional fisherman on long range sport fishing vessels.
These trips would range anywhere from 8 to 18 days at a time. I would often work these trips consecutively. I am no stranger to long hours, lack of sleep, and hard work. When it’s time to work late I assure you I’ll be the first out of the bunk!
As of recently, I have become very passionate about hunting, horsemanship, hiking, and any of the natural pleasures one can get up high in the mountains.
This has fueled in me an infatuation for land and wildlife conservation. As well as an appreciation for public land, and fighting for the public to maintain access to it.
In many cases I have been known to be obsessive when it comes to learning new skills. I assure you my enthusiasm will keep me on my toes and will set me apart from other candidates.
