I have been an avid hunter for most of my life with an emphasis on dove, duck and goose hunting. I grew up in Missouri and was fortunate to share my father’s profession as a waterfowl biologist while growing up. I have hunted perhaps every corner of the state and currently lease an area that I waterfowl hunt on as often as possible.
My profession is in academics, but I also advise our nationally ranked shooting team, I am a certified NRA shooting coach and I teach a course in Recreational Shotgun Shooting each fall. I love the shooting sports.
My second passion is radio control airplanes. I fly, write and blog for a national magazine and online forum often.
