I grew up on a dairy farm, which my dad and brother now run as a beef operation. When I can, I still lend a hand — farming’s in my blood.

After earning my degree in forestry, I spent about a decade as a procurement forester at a sawmill in Independence, VA. I helped loggers reclaim land and build roads — that’s where I discovered my love for running equipment.

When the mill sold to a giant corporation, I realized the office life wasn’t for me. So, after a lot of prayer and patience, I stepped out on my own. Now, I’m doing what I love.
