On his fathers side of the family he has Native American ancestors so he practices conservation methods at many levels, as is his heritage. He spends quality time with his family and with them finds the opportunity to pursue his inborn instincts and interests. Few can match his ability to cast a plug, lay a fly line or shoot a shotgun and rifle. He operates a boat or canoe with the agility of his Indian ancestry. He lives in this modern world but he carries his ancestry with him each day. While traveling on his job he has made friends all over the country. He is known to carry a fly rod with his brief case in the summer months and a shotgun in the winter months. If someone says, "Let's go fishing" or "Let's go hunting after work," he's ready.
