Born and raised in Central California, I am a third-generation cattle rancher and horseman who grew up on large working ranches where life was lived horseback, hunting, and fishing from the Central Valley to the Sierra Nevadas, building a practical understanding of land, wildlife, water, and ranch operations. After moving to Colorado with my wife, Kim, and our three sons, Cooper, Garrett, and Trevor, I continued ranching while expanding into outfitting and guiding across Northern Colorado. From open plains to high mountain terrain, I have developed firsthand knowledge for the needs of agriculture, recreation, and hunting, with experience in wildlife, habitat, water availability, hunter access, tag management, ski areas, and hot springs. Colorado offers unique, resourceful, and enjoyable opportunities for those who live, work, and play in the state of Colorado.
