Professional Summary
Growing up as a devoted nature enthusiast and avid outdoorsman, I have directed my future towards building a
career in the Outdoor Industry. Being accepted into a world-class degree at Kansas State University, titled
Wildlife and Outdoor Enterprise Management, was the first big stride towards my aspirations. This program has
combined business, marketing, hospitality management, natural resources and wildlife/fisheries management.
The outcome of these studies has prepared me to manage and operate hunting/fishing resorts, game production
operations and outdoor adventure companies while gaining valuable skills to communicate, lead and build
careers in the boundless outdoor industry. I have a strong passion for conserving, preserving and sharing the
great gifts and opportunities that nature provides. With this passion, my career goal is to live life to the fullest
each day while growing with a company, resort or organization that genuinely influences the public and guests to
get outdoors through their distinguishable service, mission, sales, and education.
