Post-High School Career

Injury prevented pursuing a college football career. Executive Producer and Host of NW-based TV show Outdoor GPS, the only live interactive fishing/hunting show in the country averaging 3.5 shows per week for the past 15 years; FOX 12 picked up the show from NBC Sports NW due to its popularity.

Commentary

The biggest highlight of my high school career was playing football. It taught me the importance of teamwork and the importance of working together to achieve one goal. The importance of teamwork has helped me throughout my life. Nothing was more important than doing my best to not fail my teammates. Also, it was important to instill fear in our opponents. Which I took great pride in.

High school sports showed me the reason to continue to work hard and going on to create Outdoor GPS “The Only Live Interactive Fishing and Hunting Television Show That Has Ever Existed” with the help of my wife Ivanka and my daughter Milana by my side. Outdoor GPS has been the longest running outdoor show on television in the Pacific Northwest. MOC baby.
