Being in the outdoor world for almost 6 years it’s hard for me to name my top memory because there are far too many. My favorite time spent is when I’m surrounded by great people and doing what we love to do. -

Eva Shockey. When I was 13 years old, I wrote her a letter and told her I wanted to be just like her. I still remember my bright eyed admiration of her as a female trailblazer in the outdoors and have since aspired to be the same inspiration as a role model for other young ladies. Almost 10 years later, I still have the letter she sent as a response!What Conservation Groups are important to you?
I was an active member of my college’s Ducks Unlimited chapter and feel that it’s making great strides to preserve waterfowl habitat throughout the country. That being said, I also am a proud member of the National Wild Turkey Federation and I am thankful for their work in continuing the legacy of improving our country’s turkey habitat and increasing the population.What's your favorite memory spent in the outdoors?
I’ll never forget duck hunting in -40 degree weather and watching hundreds of mallards float into our spread—it truly felt like an out of body experience. -

My first time fly fishing in Florida. A friend and I drove through the night to get down to Clearwater and decided to fish the rest of the afternoon until late into the night. I got a grand slam catching a Tarpon, Snook, Triple-tail, Red, and Trout. Would love to relive that excitement a thousand times. -

If you could share a duck blind or a boat for a day with anyone, who would it be and briefly why:
Phil Roberson (not necessarily to talk ducks but more about Jesus) there’s more to life than ducks, bucks, and creation, the Creator is who allows us to experience and love it all. "Nature in its varied forms are the little windows through which God permits me to commune with Him and to see much of His Glory, Majesty, Power by simply lifting the curtain and looking in" Simply being able to enjoy creation as often as I get to leads me to believe Christ has only scratched the surface on earth as to how glorious Heaven really is|

Your top/ favorite memory spent in the outdoors:
again too many to really narrow a specific day down… but one that comes to mind is My dad and I were drawn on a duck hunt for one of South Carolina’s waterfowl hunts, and we were both down to our last shell with 2 birds to fill our limit. After sitting a bit, we had a single grey duck come in perfect, and dad shot once and folded it. A little while later, another grey came in and did it beautifully as well, and I finished our limit with the last shell we had. After that, we just sat where we were and watched the birds pile in for about 45 minutes before we left just to soak up the morning with a strap full of birds and enjoying a successful hunt and a beautiful morning. -

If you could share a duck blind or a boat for a day with anyone, who would it be and why?
My answer will always be my three-legged retriever, Tripp. He’s the joy of my life and always will be, and honestly, he’s the reason I love waterfowl hunting the most.
What Conservation Groups are important to you?
My full-time job is serving as the Director of Membership at the National Wild Turkey Federation. It’s an honor to devote my career to the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage.
What's your favorite memory spent in the outdoors?
Most of my favorite memories are pretty simple ones. I genuinely love the outdoors because that’s where I feel closest to God. Watching a sunrise, breathing in the cold mountain air, hearing an elk bugle, listening to the woods come to life and appreciating the moments that make you feel so incredibly small.
