I’m happy to say I have an unhealthy obsession with both fishing and archery, and I have all the gear to prove it—even though I’m still learning the correct way to hold most of it.

If I’m not on the water, you’ll find me at the table leaning heavily on the rest of the crew for guidance because, let’s be honest, they’re the real experts. I’m also the one responsible for the glorious sound drops you hear on the show. I believe a well-placed, and sometimes completely unnecessary, sound effect is the mark of a truly professional broadcast.

My biggest vice is my growing fleet of watercraft. My garage is a graveyard of unused potential, with a chaotic jumble of kayaks, canoes, and boats—each purchased with the best intentions and a completely irrational belief that this one will finally be “the one.”

So join me, the guy who’s always learning and probably owns more paddle craft than he has friends, as we navigate the great outdoors with a lot of help and even more sound effects.
