 I grew up on the Front Range of Colorado in a small farming town, Brighton.  I still reside in Brighton with my beautiful wife Amy and daughter Addison and a son Teagan.  We also have 2 dogs, Gauge and Max.  Gauge, the chocolate lab, is a hunting machine and goes with me almost every day.  It wouldn’t be the same without her.  Max is a Great Dane and Boxer mix.  He weighs 130 pounds and thinks he is a lap dog.  Max goes with us to the field and helps set decoys, but as soon as the guns come out he returns to the truck and guards it for us, and looks for any lost donuts that remain there. I worked as a professional baseball umpire, attended umpire school in 1997 after attending Western State College on a wrestling scholarship and began working my way thru the minor league system.  I got the chance in 2005 to attain one of my goals in life and umpire at the Major League level. I have recently retired as a professional umpire to continue to pursue my  life long dream in the outfitting industry.    I grew up in a hunting family.  My father hunted every chance he got and involved my brother and I from a very young age.  I grew up hunting waterfowl, elk, deer, pheasant, and turkey.  I love hunting all the above, but waterfowl and archery elk is what really gets me excited.   You can find me hunting about 90- 100 days a year throughout the US.  I generally hit 3 – 4 different states with Idaho and North Dakota being two of my favorite. It’s hard to beat a late season Mallard hunt on the Snake River of Idaho

I was born and raised  in the small mountain town of Salida, Colorado.  I currently  live in Brighton, Colorado with my beautiful wife, Amy, and my hunting buddy, Remington.  I hunt waterfowl 70 to 80 days a year.  It wasn’t until I moved to the Front Range of Colorado in 1998 that I truly caught the waterfowl bug.  Growing up in the small town of Salida, there was always plenty of  elk and deer to stalk after but there was very little waterfowl.  My brother and I would jump shoot the Arkansas River or head down to the San Luis Valley and try our luck at decoying a green head.  We would shoot a few ducks  but most of the time it was nice to watch the sunrise, pick up my dozen decoys, and head home. Now my winters are consumed with the thrill of ducks piling into the decoys  or  a flock of Canada’s gliding across the cut corn field, dropping, with their  feet down. Going from North Dakota down to Nebraska and on to Idaho looking for that thrill and I can honestly say I never get tired of it.  

Living on the Front Range of Colorado, which I call the  “best kept secret for goose hunting” , what more can you  want?

Craig grew up in Brighton Colorado.  He is 30 years old and waterfowl hunting is what he loves to do.  I think the only thing he likes better is hanging out with his family.  He married his high school sweetheart and they have an awesome son Owen.   Craig also has his lab ,Trip, that will be hunting with Craig this year.   Craig earned his degree from Colorado State University and now works for the Arbor Valley Nursery in Brighton.  Craig loves his job, but when he gets the chance to sneak away and guide a group of hunters he jumps at the chance.  Craig is a very experienced caller and hunter.  Craig competes in many calling competitions across the US.  He has placed in the top 3 in numerous contests and is still improving every day. He has many repeat groups that ask specifically for Craig and he loves it.  He gets out of work and he also gets the chance to be out in the field and do what he loves.  Craig is a dependable guide that our clients love.  We could not do this without quality people behind the scenes and Craig is definitely one of them!
