"I have spent most of my life growing up and hunting in the North/Central Texas area.  While hunting, the outdoors and Fall Obsession are all very strong passions of mine, I also devote a lot of time to my career as a Firefighter.  My outdoor industry experience is not only limited to my time here at Fall Obsession.  I have previously spent several years working at an archery pro shop, with experience as both a bow technician and an archery instructor.

From a very young age, hunting has always been an important part of my life!  I grew up hunting with my dad, which I still do to this day.  I believe the memories and experiences many of us have in the outdoors, especially those between a father and son are unmatched.  My own hunting experiences and time spent hunting with my dad over the years have been a huge inspiration for me to build Fall Obsession."

"I was born and raised in Anna, Texas where I now live with my beautiful wife, Nicole, and son, Noah. I worked in the banking industry for 5 years until the age of 24 when I realized I did not want to sit in a cubicle anymore and needed something more meaningful where I could really help people. I then found being a firefighter would be the perfect fit for me. I now work as a career firefighter with the Flower Mound Fire Department and absolutely love my job.

Even as a little kid, hunting was always one of my favorite things to do. It didn't matter what I was hunting for, as long as I was outdoors looking for animals. Pretty much everybody in my family hunts, but my dad is the one who really introduced me to it and we still hunt together to this day. He always taught me to do the right thing from following game laws to making ethical shots. When I was in school I tried to find a way to work and be outdoors so then I wouldn't consider it work. Then I found Fall Obsession."
