Born and raised in Dallas TX. I have been hunting and fishing since I was a little guy and it is my favorite thing to do. My three year old boy is following in his fathers foot steps and loves the outdoors and fishing. We currently live in Shokan NY in the catskill mountains. I took a new job and got on with Gander Mountain which brought us to NY. What a change from TX to NY.... it has been fun. I will tell you my wife is a good trooper with the snow!
