OutdoorHub 04.08.14
Backcountry Hunters & Anglers announced today that Ryan Busse will join its National Board of Directors. Born and raised on the prairies of western Kansas, Busse began casting a fly rod at the age of 5 and developed a passion for fishing backcountry streams during family trips to Colorado and Wyoming. After earning his degree, Busse has worked exclusively in the outdoor equipment industry. Most recently he has spent nearly 20 years with Kimber where he serves as Vice President of Sales. During Busse’s tenure at Kimber, the company has grown to become one of America’s leading firearms companies. He has also served on several volunteer boards and advisory councils during his professional career and is a passionate advocate for backcountry.
When asked why he wanted to join the board of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, he said, “After half a lifetime spent hunting and fishing backcountry from Arizona to Alaska I feel compelled to give back to the land that has given me so much. And there is no organization more dedicated to maintaining our hunting and fishing traditions in wild, pristine places than BHA.”
Asked to comment on BHA’s new addition to the Board of Directors, BHA Executive Director, Land Tawney, said, “We are thrilled to have Ryan join us. He breathes backcountry credentials, talks straight, and thinks strategically. All qualities that will help BHA carry on our backcountry legacy.”
