Where are you from?

I was born in Phoenix but went to high school in California. I attended Jacksonville State, where I played quarterback and competed for a national championship. While there, I met my wife, Sadie, who was also from Phoenix. After college, we moved back to Arizona. We were married in 2022 and just welcomed our baby girl, Daisy, into the world this spring.

What do you make happen at Marsupial Gear?

I started working at Marsupial Gear in 2020, where I worked part-time cutting fabric. After about a year, I moved into shipping and inventory, and now I manage our day-to-day production.

I ensure we have inventory on the shelf and prepare for product launches. I have the final say on all quality control aspects, from raw materials to finished products. If you're upset about a product being out of stock, you can get mad at me. With our production near capacity, it can be challenging to determine which products take priority over others.

Tell us about your hunting experience.

I started hunting when I was ten with my uncle on a turkey hunt. I killed a turkey every year until I was 18.

I shot my first deer in 2020.

I enjoy the camaraderie, the campfire memories, and the adrenaline rush of having an animal in your sights.

What is a hunting accomplishment you’re most proud of?

My 2023 Arizona OTC Coues deer was a great moment for me because I felt like I was able to do a lot of things on my own and grow as a hunter. Also, it just so happened to be over a 100-inch Coues deer.

What is a hunting dream you hope to achieve some day? 

I would love to shoot a mature bull elk in Arizona with my bow. I think elk hunting is cool because it’s a very interactive hunt, similar to turkey hunting. The feeling you get when a turkey calls back to your call is indescribable, and it’s even better when a bull elk responds. Plus, I have an open space above my TV where an elk mount would fit nicely.

What does your chest pack system look like?

I have a small Field Tan Enclosed Pack with a Coyote Brown Range Finder Pouch on the right, a Cell Phone Pouch on the left, and a Bottom Mount Holster underneath.

I occasionally swap out the Cell Phone Pouch with a small Zippered Pouch.

What’s your favorite piece of gear from Marsupial?

My favorite piece of gear is our Handwarmer Muff. I have always hated losing dexterity from wearing gloves.

The Handwarmer Muff allows me to keep my hands warm without needing to wear gloves. I wear it around my waist on most hunts.
