Proudest Accomplishments:

Anything I harvest is a proud accomplishment – especially when I get to share those harvests with family and friends at the dinner table. 

I love seeing the reaction of folks when they taste Wild Game ala Sandy for the first time. 

My proudest moment would be the very first bird I called in by myself.  A nice 1 ½ year old – double bearded bird.  Talked to him from the time he came off the roost until twenty minutes later when he strutted and gobbled into shotgun range.

Employed: A 22 year employee at InteliCoat Technologies, South Hadley MA
Statement: I’ve always enjoyed the outdoors, it was only inevitable that I take up hunting.

Mom and I have a camper at Shady Pines Campground in Savoy where we spend every weekend possible during the summer. 
Enjoy: But my hunting really began by asking for feathers as I make Native American and Woodland crafts as a hobby.  That has grown into learning how to do cape and tail mounts for me and friends. 

Another passion is cooking.  What great recipes my Mom and I have come up with for sharing the harvests. From Venison Pasta e Fagioli Soup to Wild Turkey Salad.
My Dream Hunt: I don’t aspire to dream too big.  Right now, I would just like to harvest my first buck and a black bear.  But if I was able to pick any hunt any where in the world – I’d say a Red Stag in New Zealand.
