Born overseas, I grew up in central Illinois and moved to Alaska in 1986. I am 41 years old, although recently divorced I have now met that someone special I have been searching for all of my life. I have 5 wonderful children of my own and 1 add on from my wonderful girlfriend and one very special grandson from my oldest son and his wife. I Have been an avid hunter and fisherman all of my life. I have recently picked up a bow for the first time in my life and am looking forward to learning to bowhunt both here in Alaska and all over the country (I have an intense passion to go after an elk soon). I am an Alaska State Trooper and have been with the department for 19 years.
