I live within a mile of where I grew up here in East Texas and received my degree from Stephen F. Austin State University with a double major in Timber and Wildlife Management. I work as a state wildlife biologist, so I lucked out and got my dream job which allows me to do something I love and get paid for it.

I have had a passion for hunting and fishing since I was kid. You name it, I like to hunt it or catch it. I started out hunting squirrels and deer, and later picked up turkey, waterfowl, and predator hunting. I still spend a lot of time hunting deer with both gun and bow. I also like to the challenge of trapping. There's nothing like hearing the jingle of a trap chain in the early morning darkness and wondering what you got.

Predator hunting is an addiction as much as an obsession. Not knowing what or how fast something is coming in adds an element of suspense not found anywhere else.

I am looking forward to teaching my kids (a son and a daughter) to hunt, fish, and love the outdoors. My son has already started to follow in my outdoor footsteps. He has taken at least one deer every year the last 4 years and took his first doves and squirrels this year. He has yet to take a predator, but soon. I love my wife and appreciate her allowing me to spend so much time afield. I am also a steadfast Christian and active in my church.

Predator Master is a great site, and I hope that as moderator I can help others get into the great sport of hunting the hunters. I have had the privilege of getting to meet many of our members as well as sponsors, and hunted with a few of them. I have yet to meet one that I did not genuinely like. I know I have learned volumes here, and look forward to getting to know some of you.
