 I was lucky enough to grow up in some of the best hunting and fishing country in North Dakota. Hazen is where I call home. 12 miles from the big lake, and 10 miles from the Missouri River. Graduated from Hazen High School in 2003.  Took a year off and worked, had a few minor stints in junior A hockey, and then went onto Minot State University from 04-08 where I studied Chemistry, Biology, and Pre-Chiropractic. I was fortunate enough to play college hockey and baseball for 3 years for the mighty Beavers! ( Even though I am a huge Sioux fan at heart) After Minot I ventured out to Bloomington Minnesota where I attended NWHSU or known as Northwestern Health Sciences University. After a full year in Minnesota, I transferred to different chiropractic school in Davenport Iowa (Palmer College of Chiropractic). After a full year there and a year away from my Doctrine in Chiropractic, I made the tough decision, to take some time off before I finish my degree.I am a homebody and being away from North Dakota was much more tough than I could have ever imagined. Currently I am attending North Dakota State University in Fargo and will graduate next fall (2012) with a Bach. of Science in Biological Sciences, Bach of Science in Environmental Sciences and minors in Chemistry and Geology. I hope after graduation to work for an oil company to pay off some student loans, before heading back to finish my doctrine of chiropractic. Aviation is one of my biggest hobbies and takes up much of my time. I have been a private pilot for a little over a year, and love flying low and slow over the rolling hills and lakes of North Dakota. My dad is an aircraft mechanic and also an avid bush pilot, and we try to rebuild a vehicle or aircraft every other year. We have restored in the previous few years, a 1970 F-250, 1974 F-250, and a 1946 Taylorcraft airplane. Whenever I can get away from school, I am back home flying, fishing, hunting, or tinkering on some sort of machine. In the later summer and fall it's all about the whitetail hunting for me, as I spend every free weekend for 2-3 months scouting for that specific deer that I want to put a bullet/arrow in. Also, in the fall, Pheasant hunting takes up lots of my time. I have 2 blacks labs that are hunting freaks and great bird dogs. Nothing better than seeing your best friend flushing up a big rooster for you to get a poke at !! I would love to get to meet more of the hunters/fisherman around the ND area to get out and do any sort of hunting or fishing around the area.
