My experience in wildlife management began at just five years old, working alongside my father on our family’s wildlife preserve in Wisconsin. Those early hands-on lessons sparked a lifelong passion for conservation and responsible wildlife stewardship. I later earned a degree in Wildlife Biology from the University of Wisconsin, with a minor in Environmental Law Enforcement, and spent my summers working with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. There, I gained extensive field training and a deep understanding of state and federal regulations, including wildlife trapping, tagging, and habitat protection.
I began my professional career in 1983, specializing in game trapping and nuisance wildlife control. My early work involved live-trapping species such as black bears, beavers, muskrats, and otters to protect fisheries and local ecosystems. Over time, I expanded into residential wildlife removal, helping homeowners safely and humanely resolve issues with squirrels, bats, raccoons, snakes, and other nuisance animals.
With more than 40 years of experience, I built Varmint Gone around a clear mission: to protect families, homes, and businesses from the damage and health risks caused by wildlife—using methods that are effective, ethical, and environmentally responsible.
