| I have been in the fire service since 2002. I started as an auxiliary member for the City of Greenville. Next, I joined New Madison Volunteer Fire. In 2006, I finally found my home at Greenville City Fire. I am married with two children; Haley, 8 and Jacob, 6. Hayley's outdoor career is highlighted by her BB gun and numerous feathers she picks up outdoors. She doesn't mind me hunting, as long as I don't hurt anything (we're working on that). Jacob's outdoor career is highlighted by a three-plus pound Large Mouth Bass he caught last summer. I can't keep that boy away from the water! My wife, Amy (God bless her), knew what she married into. She understands I live to be outdoors and sometimes she TELLS ME TO GO OUTSIDE!!! Hunting for me started before I can remember. I have always been able to remember my dad taking me rabbit and squirrel hunting. My first deer came at the young age of ten, and I have been deer hunting ever since. Twenty-plus years of it have been with archery. The Turkey's came next! I've had the Turkey Fever for 16 years; can't seem to get rid of that either. I've only been Waterfowl hunting for four years and am enjoying every minute of it. I've been an avid coyote hunter (in the winter only) for 12 years. I have been to South Dakota to Pheasant hunt. I also go to Michigan to Grouse hunt every year. Between all of that, I still make time to Dove hunt, shoot crows, and fish with my kids. |
