Samantha was born and raised in Middle Tennessee. She has lived there her whole life, and still lives within minutes of her childhood home. In her full-time career, Samantha is a Vendor Marketing Specialist with Servpro Industries, Inc. Married to her best friend, Bud, the two have a beautiful young daughter, Alyssa. Samantha grew up in the outdoors, camping and fishing with her mom, dad, and kid sister. Her heart lies either on the river or in the woods. Her dad took her hunting for small game when she was young. Work, family, and school took over, and she lost sight of her outdoor passion for a while. After several years, her husband introduced her back into hunting. She harvested her first turkey, and has been in back in love with the outdoors since. Passion has morphed into an obsession that she thoroughly enjoys. Nowadays, she and her family spend every moment they can outside fishing, hunting, hiking, exploring, and just spending time together. Specifically, Samantha enjoys whitetail and squirrel hunting in the winter, turkey hunting in the Spring, bowfishing during the summer, and dove and turkey hunting in the fall. She also had the honor of becoming a certified archery instructor through the Sumner County 4-H in Tennessee, and enjoys teaching archery to Tennessee’s youth. Samantha is a lifetime learner, and always keeps her ears open to those who are willing to share their knowledge and experience. She loves passing on what she’s learned to the next generation, so that it’s not lost with us. Additionally, she is also a member of the Bayou Pursuit Team, with Muddy Bayou Archery. They are strongly geared towards hunting and the outdoors as a family, and focused on instilling a love and a respect for the outdoors to the next generation. They have hunted as a team for hogs, most recently in Louisiana, and are looking forward to many more adventures in the coming years. Samantha is currently working on her Business Management Degree, with plans to continue on to a Wildlife Management and Conservation degree.
