THE PASSION.

For me, the passion started over a decade ago and has grown into something that has completely changed my life. I was the first hunter in my family, but was never doing it alone. My family supported it from the beginning in the ways that mattered most. They may not have known much about hunting, or had any "secret spots", but they believed in me.

As a teen, my parents would wake up early on a weekend and drop me off in the mountains so I could go pursue what I loved. Those early memories and acts of service on their end meant the world to me. 

With that being said, most of what I know is self-taught through years of experience in the mountains. I was also blessed with generous friends who took me along from time-to-time and shortened the learning curve. From the beginning, I found a lot of motivation from the outdoor experiences people shared online, and have always wanted to pay it forward. 

WHY EARND.?

EARND was built on two things I try to live by… earning your success, and being grateful through the process. Several of my designs are simple on purpose. I designed products not based on me, but rather my beliefs and the culture I want to represent in the industry.

I wanted this culture to veer from the competitive side of hunting, and rather be one rooted in faith, humility, a healthy lifestyle, and simply finding gratitude in any circumstance. Spending time in God's country with this mindset has been a blessing for me through every season of my life. 

THE TEAM.

If you take anything from this, I want to credit a lot of my success to my supportive wife, my psycho dog, Ru, and my number one fan.. our little guy Haze. None of this would happen without them! They continue to be gods greatest blessing to me in my life.
