Tom Greenwood III, (website name= Greenwood)

Tom has been waterfowling since the age of 4, when he accompanied his grandpa Tom Sr. to the goose pits in southern ill. , where he was born and raised.  His Grandpa has been guiding for over 50 years now and has got Tom III hooked from day one. When you’re born and raised in southern Illinois, you already have waterfowling in your blood.
            Tom is and has been in the waterfowl industry since 2002, from making and selling custom acrylic calls to filming hunts and working trade shows. Along the way he has met a lot of people and made a lot of friends. 
            In the spring summer l when he isn’t busy working on combines, you can almost always find him somewhere on a lake fishing.  Tom has a beautiful wife Wendy and two great kids Wyatt- 4 and Laney- 2.  Usually Wyatt is with his dad when he’s on the lake and in the blind when dad is hunting. 
            Tom makes a lot of trips back to southern ill, during the fall and winter, to hunt with his cousin and good friend; Head guide Tim Ellis at Arrow Head Lodge.   “There’s nothing like duck hunting down at arrowhead” says Tom.   Tim has been at the lodge since the beginning and watched the club grow and prosper. 
            When Tom is in Ohio chasing geese, you can always bet that his buddy Brad is with him.  “That is one guy that you can always rely on to go out and hunt with you no matter how cold and nasty it is” adds Tom. 
            In late fall of 2009 Tom hooked up with good friend Field Hudnall and help him launch his new line of custom duck and goose calls, Field Proven Calls.  Tom has worked beside Field and his brother Clay since 2002 and has developed a tight relationship or brotherhood with these two guys. 
            Tom is also a volunteer firefighter for Chickasaw Fire Dept and hopes someday that he might possibly get the opportunity to go full time somewhere. 

Emigrated to Canada in 1964 at age 10 with my mom and 2 sisters reuniting with my Dad. Lived in Richmond, B.C., next to Vancouver Intl Airport. Raised Pheasants in the back yard. At 10 I shot my first side by side12ga. both barrels at once. I did shoot a duck. I learned to hunt ducks and Upland game, play soccer and hockey at a Juvenile competitive level representing my school and the city teams separately. Joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1975 and started a family (3 girls) in 1983.

Represented the RCMP at an Int'l IPSC competition in 1983 winning 2 trophies for Top Policeman and Top Revolver out of 143 competitors. In the early 90's I taught my 3 girls (two are twins) how to enjoy the shooting sport and introduced them to Upland bird hunting. Since 1992 I have been a member of Ridgedale Rod and Gun Club. After a 26 yr RCMP career I retired in 2001 (at 46 yrs old). Until recently I have hunted all over our beautiful Province of British Columbia for big game, and have successfully hunted Moose, Elk, Mule/ Whitetail Deer, Black Bear any numerous Wiley Coyotes. Now I enjoy teaching new handgun shooters, new hunters in my off time as well as Waterfowl hunting.
