My early years of archery started when my family moved to a ranch close to the Missouri River in Platte, SD in 1979.  My dad Gary taught my brother and I a lot about the outdoors how to build stick bows out of Willow tree branches, use twine for string and carve arrows from Cedar trees.  Just getting the arrow to fly was a challenge for us.  We would occasionally find arrow heads and wonder about who once lived along the river and the bows and arrows they had build from scratch to survive. My brother and I loved the outdoors and everything associated with it.  

The enthusiasm continued when I received a pair of binoculars for Christmas one year and asked for a compound bow instead of a class ring in high school.  A Bear Whitetail is what I chose and spent many days learning, practicing, and small game hunting. I matured quickly as a bow hunter teaching myself to appreciate and love the experience rather than to get frustrated over the mistakes I had made.  

            Bow hunting and the outdoors are my obsession and I am fortunate to have a family that tolerates and enjoys sharing it with me, wife, Shauna and 2 kids, Austin and Payton.  We spend as much time as possible camping, fishing, checking & hanging stands and trail cams, shed hunting, anything out-of-doors.  We currently live in Wolsey, South Dakota where I work as Operations Manager for McGillvrey Oil; we cover central SD providing quality petroleum products and service to farmers, ranchers, construction, residential, etc...

            Thank you for spending time with the Bowhunt’n Brothers, hopefully we fueled your fire for “living the obsession”
