    About Me

    Allen Pike.jpg

    I’m a husband and father of two adult sons that love the outdoors and one insane German Short-haired Pointer named Lucy that loves pointing, flushing and retrieving anything, all the time.

     

    I am the President and part owner of an advertising agency located in Michigan, and an active member of Trout Unlimited, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers and the Michigan Outdoor Writers Association.

     

    I love books – about everything – but especially travel, adventure, war, history, and outdoor pursuits. I love great food, great beer and great wine, sometimes in moderation, sometimes not.  

     

    More than anything I love the outdoors. I love the smells, the sounds, the sights. Since I was a little boy fishing with my dad, pitching a tent in the backyard, and unwrapping pocketknives for Christmas I’ve been drawn to all things wild.
