I define relentless as

I am a Sr. Designer in the Engineering Department at Mack Trucks/Volvo. I am a Husband, with a great wife of 32 years! I am a Father, with a lovely daughter! I am a Grandfather, with two lovely granddaughters. I am a hunter, fisher and outdoors man. I am a wildlife conservationist! I am relentless in my pursuit of life and the chasing of my dreams!

I am relentless by nature because

As a hunter of life both professionally and personally, I focus on the adventures that are right in front of my eyes. From my beautiful marriage of 32 years, to my 30 year career as a Senior Designer, to the raising of my wonderful daughter and grandkids life is a constant adventure meant to be chased and cherished one day at time. As a wildlife conservationist and as a hunter my goals are to harvest a great moose, elk, antelope and deer in the next 4 years.

My relentless story

I grew up in Eastern Pennsylvania and I was taught from day one to work hard and live by the Golden Rule and play hard. Everything I do in life comes from a position of passion whether it is being with my family, enjoying the company of friends or pursuing my dreams chasing wildlife in the great outdoors. I have been hunting and enjoying the outdoors for my entire life and the conservation of wildlife is a strong passion of mine. My relentless nature has been tested in my life. Six years ago I fell out a tree stand to the ground 20 feet below me. I broke my neck, shoulder and ankle. I spent over 6 months in therapy to recover from my injuries. I am still hunting and continue to chase my dreams of getting a moose and an elk. Last year I had the opportunity to pursue elk in the mountains of Idaho on a dream trip of a lifetime and while we were not successful in harvesting an elk, each and every day was a reward! Watching the day unfold before our very eyes each morning and hearing the elk bugle in the wild was the trophy of the trip. Every morning when I got up and strapped on my boots my muscles still ached from the previous days hike. We would head out of the tent and a new day would begin. Relentless to me is the willingness to go over the next mountain range and the next and the next in pursuit of that dream animal all the while knowing that for every mountain that we went over, we would be hiking back over that evening to come back to the camp safely. Whether it is on the mountain top, or in the office, or in life, I have always been willing to go over that next mountain to chase my dreams! I have learned that after 32 years of marriage, a daughter and two grandchildren that dreams do come true and the dreams usually end up being the memories that are created on the journey to where we think we are headed.
