This is Brad, my boyfriend and best friend.  We met in September of 2001 and started dating when Brad asked me out in April of 2002.  We have been inseparable ever since.  He is an enthusiastic outdoorsman and has introduced me to the wonders of nature.  By forcing me to take time to enjoy the simplistic side of life I have been able to see, hear, smell, touch, and taste things most people have only read about in nature books.  Hiking, fishing, boating, hunting, and trapping are just some of the activities that we are able to enjoy together.  In addition to having fun we learn about animals, plants, rocks and minerals, and history too.
