MINORITY OUTDOOR ALLIANCE - MOAFest 2022 was an absolute blast!  As an initiative in partnership with Pheasants Forever, we were able to kick off our Learn to Hunt Experience in Alabama at Orvis Pursell Farms and we had a great number of attendees who came to the festival looking to learn more about hunting and fishing.  Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate and cultivate inclusivty for a healthier outside!  I want to say thank you to my wife Ashley who spearheaded the event and really put together a knock out event with the help of so many others who believe in the vision and future of MOA.

• 15535 TAGGEDOUT™
• Here’s a hunt-inspired Bugout-like knife for the lightweight hunters who travel long distances. When going far with a kit on your back, every ounce of weight carried matters. This lightweight and slim hunting folder can handle any task while in the wilderness—from prepping food at camp to skinning or field dressing animals to cutting paracord. Light in weight, high in visibility, slim in pocket feel, and a razor-sharp cut from the CPM-154 steel with SelectEdge® application make the new 15535 Taggedout a go-to for go-far adventures.
• Im also featured in the new TaggedOut Promo from Benchmade so check them out on instagram @benchmadeknifecompany and at their website https://www.benchmade.com/15535-taggedout.html

GEORGIA POWER

• The Nature Now Film Festival, sponsored by Georgia Power and put together by Paige Swift (interview coming soon), was absolutely fantastic and I was most impressed by the protagonists and cast of the film, Black Ice, and I was so blessed to be able to hang out with a few of them while in Columbus, GA.  We received incredible love and support for the Dogmen film, and I was also able to speak with the Columbus State University arts students that morning for a short artist talk about my assemblage work that was also shown during the festival.  Thank you GA Power for supporting the arts and supporting habitat and conservation, as well as the company themselves being an unlikely case in the outdoors.  So many people see GA Power as just a light bill, but looking deeper, the company has been actively involved in the environment and creating recreational outdoor spaces for each and every resident of Georgia.  Check out their work at https://www.georgiapower.com/community/environment.html
