Business Travels: I spent the 4 years prior to being Plant Manger as the Corporate Director of Purchasing for my company. This job required A LOT of traveling. Some of the places I visited include: South Africa - Brazil - Japan - China - Germany - Romania - Mexico - Canada
Hunting Travels: After McCray (see his bio) and I graduated from NC State, we set a goal of trying to hunt out of state every year together. Some of the states where I have chased both small and big game include North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky.
Hunting Accomplishments: Although I now get to hunt out of state most every year, I spend 90% of my time outdoors in North Carolina. Ive been fortunate enough to take many whitetail bucks in my home state with archery equipment, a few with a muzzle loader and few more with a rifle. I spend the majority of my time in a tree stand with a stick and string in hand. Ive also had the chance to kill many turkeys in the piedmont and mountains of North Carolina and Virginia. Ive been the guide for far more kills for buddies and co-workers. Nothing gets my adrenaline pumping more than talking sweetly to a mature gobbler. I am a member of the Pope and Young Club. Ive killed deer over 125 in North Carolina, Ohio and Illinois and am currently working on a 5 year consecutive streak of reaching that 125 mark; the longest of my hunting career.
Most Sought After Hunting Goal: My current # 1 rated hunting challenge is getting my 9 year old son (Caleb) his first turkey and deer. Weve been so close on the turkey numerous times and have passed on several smaller deer that didnt meet his management criteria. Hopefully, 2009 is the year that we get to cross this task from the list. UPDATE: My son Caleb harvested his first deer on the last day of the North Carolina season, a mature doe!
