Having grown up in the city, I had to make up for lost time and learn a lot quickly. So back in 2013, I enrolled in a guide school up in Montana. A real mountain man named Rick Wemple taught me a lot about big-game hunting, wilderness navigation, dealing with clients, and much more. It was a transformative experience. When I returned home, I decided the city wasn't cutting it anymore and moved to the mountains, where I've been ever since. I'm still learning every season.

Who taught you how to hunt?

After 16 days in the Bitterroot mountains, I was 10 pounds lighter and ready to skin any critter that lived.
