About the Speaker

Speaking History:

I have spoke at an average 55-60 event per year over the last three years. Venues range from sportsmans shows, fish and game clubs, governmental agencies (NYDEP, NHF&GD, MEIDF&W, etc), university classroom settings, and much more. I have spoken in front of crowds that range in size from 10 to 400 people.

Core message:

Better deer, better deer hunting (through proper management).

Bio

The QDMA's mission is to promote sustainable, high quality white-tailed deer populations, wildlife habitats, and ethical hunting experiences through education, research, and management in partnership with hunters, landowners, natural resource professionals, and the public.

The Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) is a non-profit 501c(3) wildlife conservation organization dedicated to ensuring a high-quality and sustainable future for white-tailed deer and white-tailed deer hunting. Founded in 1988, the QDMA currently has nearly 50,000 members in all 50 states and several foreign countries including over 2500 deer management professionals - more than any other white-tailed deer organization. The QDMA has developed numerous partnerships with state wildlife agencies, timber companies, hunting groups, and product manufacturers. These partnerships have increased both the awareness of the QDMA and participation in the Association's management philosophy, Quality Deer Management (QDM). Without question, the QDMA is rapidly becoming the most respected and influential white-tailed deer organization in the United States.
