Additional Information
I, along with my husband of 30 years, help run a non-profit that takes wounded/disabled veterans, the terminally ill, and children deer and turkey hunting at no charge to them. We provide them with food, lodging, and a guide. We have been doing this for about 13 years, and it is our passion outside of our jobs. Most of our free time is spent at the camp either helping with the hunts, or working on the farm during the off season. I also run the social media for the group, as well as do public speaking and outdoors shows on behalf of our organization. We normally take over 100 hunters per year at camp.
