Bryan is a hands on, working guide/owner who has become well know for hunting hard and providing “real hunting adventures” for his many outfitted clients.

Many hunters and industry professionals enjoy reading his informative, Extreme Gear articles, in the “Huntin Fool” magazine. People who know him well often refer to Bryan as the “Gear Guru” or the “Gear Guy” because he has tested and used so many different types of gear and equipment and is always searching for better, stronger and more efficient products. He is passionate about sharing his hunting and equipment knowledge that has worked for him on the many Extreme hunts he partakes in, both as a Solo hunter and with clients/friends.
