He retired from Phillip Morris as Fire Chief, EMT and machine operator after 31 years. After retirement he finally found his dream job as an archery professional working at Dance’s Sporting Goods. He had a life-long passion for everything hunting, including competing in archery competitions nation-wide, being active in the NWTF and teaching others the love of the sport.
