Trail Name:

I have grown up and spent my entire life here in Idaho. I have been backpacking into remote backcountry since high school and hunting since I was a small child. I am a former police officer and am now the owner of an excavation company. Fun fact: If I'm not working or hunting, my wife and I can usually be found in a mat room training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
