Duck Camp reached out to me before any other brands. I love the people, the product and the mission behind the brand.



What’s your favorite Game Series hat?
I have to go redfish. Keep it close to home.
What’s your favorite piece of Duck Camp gear?
I love the drifter shorts and Deck bibs. The drifter shorts have all the right pockets, belt loops and fabrics for a perfect fishing short.
The Deck Bibs have kept me dry season after season. I think I’ve worn those more than anyone on the planet.
