Chad has been a full time and seasonal part of our team since he came to us nearly a decade ago. His strong work ethic, his passion for taking kids hunting and his strong dog training skills make him a versatile guide.
Chad grew up in central Kansas. Following in his father’s footsteps as an avid outdoorsman, he started hunting and fishing when he was a boy. Even from a young age, he knew that he’d make his passion for the outdoors his livelihood someday.
Chasing pheasants, quail, deer, turkey and waterfowl is a passion and welcome challenge for Chad. He has guided for a diverse range of upland bird and big game species, working for numerous outfitters in Kansas, Oregon, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
Although he loves to hunt birds and big game, Chad feels that guiding someone and creating life-long memories are even more enjoyable. His hunting team includes several GSP's that he has personally trained. Guests often tell us that Chad is one of the best guides they have ever hunted with. He is extremely easy going and personable; someone that makes fast friends. Guests more than once have described him as a "mountain goat" after chasing chuckars around the canyon with him. Chad and his son Talon enjoy camping, fishing, hunting, and riding ATV's.
