NAME: Jesse

POSITION: Videographer  

JOINED TEAM HAZEL CREEK: 2008

FAMILY: Eventually

GENERAL INTERESTS: I grew up hunting in west central Illinois, and have been carrying my video camera into the woods for several years. I didn’t think I could ever end up hunting for a living so I went to college to find out what I was good at. I ended up graduating from Western Illinois University with a Bachelors of Arts in English and I still didn’t know what do for a career. I lucked out when Cally and Annetta picked my resume out of a pile and asked me to come to Hazel Creek for an interview. Now I get to travel all over and see parts of the country that I always dreamed of seeing. When I get to go home, one of the first things on my agenda is seeing my two nephews Wyatt and Waylun.

MOVIES: Pulp Fiction, Boondock Saints, Kill Bill, Braveheart, Band of Brothers, Lonesome Dove, Animal House, and many more I can’t think of.

BOOKS: Life of Pi, Eva Luna, Lonesome Dove, Into the Wild, The Bone People, Brave New World, Catcher in the Rye, Jane Eyre, The Mountain of My Fear, Going After Cacciato, A River Runs Through It

HEROES: Both My Parents and Brother

HOBBIES: I like Hunting, watching baseball and football, playing softball, filming hunts, and hanging out with friends.

HUNTING: Growing up in Illinois, I hunted mainly whitetail and turkeys with my family and friends. However, some of my fondest memories about hunting happened coon hunting with my dad when I was little.
