Wild Outdoors

I grew up in Frogtown Illinois where I started hunting and fishing as a little kid with my dad and brother. I played all the sports like any normal kid, but my real passion was hunting and fishing. Reed and I had the luxury of living out in the country as kids, so we were exposed to the outdoors from the start! Filming became a hobby of ours in the year of 2000, and we started filming for The Wild Outdoors in the fall of 2001. Obviously, we have been on the pro staff for ten years this fall, and it has been a boatload of fun! I currently reside in Breese, Illinois and work as an IBEW lineman out Local 309 in Collinsville, IL. I’m married to my wife Karena with whom I have two beautiful boys, Breden, 7 and Brody, 2. I am sure that Reed and I will have our hands full teaching them how to hunt, but that is definitely something I look forward to!
