In this episode, we sit down with a Michigan native to talk hunting, family, western tags, and building a life around the outdoors.

We kick things off with one must-visit destination in Michigan for anyone coming through, then dive into his background — from working in the fitness industry, to transitioning into health/wellness space, all while running E2WH. Beyond work, we get into personal adventures including elk, musk ox, deer, and desert hunts, and how family and fatherhood shape the way he approaches the outdoors.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

The Lifestyle

  • How hunting fits into everyday life

  • Raising kids around the outdoors

Kids & Hunting
