About Me

I'm just your average 56 year old . I hunt and fish from Alaska to Florida and guide for both. I have a fish guiding service "X-STREAM FISHING" . The moto is "It's the most fun you can have with your pants on". I caught a VT state record Largemouth bass in the1980's (9#;5 oz) . I shot the state record archery whitetail in 2003 (137 6/8") I am a Master Antler scorer and teach and certify scorers. I am also a scorer for the NBBC and Record's of Exotics. I have taken 5 recordbook rams with my bow and have shot the #2 Russian Boar with a bow in 2000. I am the Director of the "Wolf & Wild Canine Sanctuary" inc. http://www.wolfsanctuary.com a federally licensed educational wolf facility . I teach about wolves and wolf behavior to college bio classes , cub scouts, etc at my facility and also all around the country. I have studied karate since 1961. I have had some amazing students over the years. I am opening a new school at Dartmouth College sometime soon. I was promoted to 10th degree black belt on 11-08-2008 by Richie Bernard of Shidokan International.The ceremony was held in Claremont NH at the NIMMA dojo hosted by Mike Sartwell. Dana Bean was the MC and speakers included Janet "Tiger" Foley Jentilet, Jayne Picoraro Lewis "Cuda", Tom Walter, Bill Walter, Hayes Stagner and Ed Harper and Doug Hooper sent letters that were read by Janet and Dana. Quite the day!!! I make the best sake you'll ever drink! This isn't a brag. It is a statement! Most sake tastes like kerosene. I spent years learning how and have made incredible sake for about 8 years. I teach sake making clinics to black belts from all around New England. We also roll sushi and cut sashimi and have a sake kind of great time! I have a guitar collection of several Fender Telecasters and Esquires. Also one I just built that has it all. I have a Suzuki 1500 motorcycle that I love! I Drive a Toyoya pick up 4x4 and have a Yamaha Grizzly 600. I work at a church as the Building Manager. I am a son, a husband, a father and a grandfather.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

1. Incredible lead guitarists that might want to learn karate in trade for some shredding/lead lessons.2. People with great hunting for whitetail, mulies, elk to hunt with that might want to fish with me for monster salmon and trout.3. Karate people that aren't happy where they are at and need a change of attitude. Too many people are used by their instructors and get very little for what it is costing them. 4. People that might want to learn about wolves and interact with them for helping me with fundraising.5.People that might find what I do interesting and want to share what they do.

Karate people - Don't be afraid to have your own identity

I followed all the rules for many years(19 to be exact) When I finally figured out that I was more of a pawn and asset than a student I took off the patch I wore and went out on my own in 1980. Yes it...
