I fully support the North American conservation model for protecting wildlife. This model requires that taxes and fees from Fishing and Hunting equipment and licenses goes to anti-poaching efforts and hiring wildlife game managers and wardens across the US and Canada to enforce game laws. Because of this, I am an active youth member of Safari Club International and have attended a number of their events as a volunteer. I’ve completed 20 hours of volunteering for Safari Club Internationals Utah chapter at conservation and fundraising events in 2026. 

​

I studied and passed my Hunter Safety test in Utah in 2011 at 11 years old. Gun safety is as important as background checks for anyone who is going to own or use a firearm. I also cook and eat everything I hunt including ducks, pheasant, quail, Hungarian partridge, whitetail deer, elk, impala, kudu and I hope to draw a tag to harvest an antelope or moose in the next few years. Anything that I catch and don’t eat, throw back. Too bad everyone doesn’t practice this type of conservation.

In December of 2024, I completed the SAAM (Sportsmans All Terrain, All Weather Marksmanship) Sniper Training School in South Texas where I learned to shoot short and long range rifles using wind, velocity, foot per second calculations and the curvature of the earth to hit your targets. I have shot long range targets out to 700 yards with my Blaser R8 bolt-action rifle on targets.
