Whats My Story?

Let me explain myself.... When I turned 40 I had a "mid life adjustment", i'm not calling it a crisis haha. I decided to change my life drastically!

Another big plan of mine is to stay as fit as I can to be able to hunt the way I want to hunt (which is typically the more physical backpacking hunts) until i'm 80!

I am documenting my journey to hopefully bring you value through entertainment, education, and inspiration.

I hope you enjoy watching my "midlife adjustment" as much as I am living it!
