Born and raised in Fortuna, CA, but have called Colorado home for longer.

Fun fact: I went from "never joining the military" to "only doing 4 years" to retiring 4 years ago after 20 years and 4 combat deployments in the Army.

Well... if ya work it right, you can make a pretty handsome living with that. [And some of us did it even without going to college and racking up all that debt! Imagine that? ;) ]

A little late for a gift, but from Zeeland mi. lived all over us but missed the Great Lakes and returned.

type 1 diabetic adult onset and extremely severe sleep apnea. I say this because indirectly these are in part why I got into backcountry mountain hunting. For nearly 20 years I was in sales for diabetes stuff... while talking with a few of my doctor customers one said diabetics are destined for early death cause they’re lazy, that’s why they are diabetic and know way can they lead a normal active life. In response to attributes of treatment I was discussing. Personally that’s not me, always been active but it became a mission to be able to thrive at high elevation while hunting for a week with two conditions that create real risk. He will never know this story, but like many they marvel at my adventures, stories and perseverance to train all year.

Born in Busan Korea (south for all you jokers out there or my buddy who always asks how my uncle kim is doing)

Interesting fact, hell i'm not interesting! But I shattered my ankle in HS and was told id barely walk probably not run again with the arthrosis of my subtalor joint and inability to roll my foot in and out. Well this ruined option 1 of UCLA scholarship and option 2 of US Army to follow in my fathers footsteps.... First year i ended up breaking my 5th metatarsal because my foot slants \ so all my weight is on that one thin bone. ignoring the Dr, it broke again on the 3rd year and the 5th year. Gave it 5 years to heal, gained some weight, but now a few years later i can run (as much as being fat will let me) and exercise, so im trying to lose it again.

Wisconsin has been my primary place I grew up and lived most of my life in in, have lived in other starts as my career evolved, was also born in France while my Dad was in the Military.

Fun (also some what crazy & frustrating) Fact -Avid hunter, but also big focus on habitat improvement at our farm. Planting 80 apple trees, 500 conifers & shrubs this spring. About the 20 year in a row row we have planted 400-1000 trees & conifers. At times very frustrating to watch a young 2.5 - 3,5 year old deer walk down a row of conifers that are finally 3'-5' tall and rub the crap out them. :LOL: :ROFLMAO:
