When I was a kid I always wanted to do something in the hunting industry.
I just never had a clear direction for it.
I knew that my passion lied in being outside one way or the other.
I just bought a little pocket camera and I started trying to film while I was guiding.
I started filming my friends, I started filming my dad I started self filming.
I didn't know the end goal with it.
I just did it because I loved it and
I loved being able to go home
and show my friends and family what I had seen that day.
Years and years later,
all of a sudden I was just sitting on so much footage.
And that's how I started.
I went from being an electrician to having a television show overnight.
I host and produce INTO HIGH COUNTRY.
We focus on western big game hunting.
We try to show all the heritage behind
those hunts and the terrain,
and we pride ourselves on trying to have
high quality cinematography to tell this story.
Through the years I've partnered up with
different conservation organizations
that represent a lot of the animals that
I hunt out West.
We were able to put conservation messages into a package
that was easy to watch and  to listen to.
For the first time
these organizations have really been able to tell their story to a broad audience.
Without conservation there wouldn't be wildlife,
there wouldn't be habitat,
there wouldn't be a place for us to hunt.
It's really opened up my eyes and it's opened up doors
to tell stories in ways that have never been told before.
I love that challenge. I love trying to think outside the box and really suck people in.
We've created a platform that speaks for itself through these messages.
And there's so many more that need to be told.
There's a lot of room in this industry
for quality, honesty, and authenticity.
Too many people fail because they try to
copy what's already been done.
Have confidence in what you do and what you believe in, and do it well,
and you'll do just fine and whatever it is you do
