Justin Eberle

Justin is a Colorado born and raised native. He grew up spending most of his free time at the family cabin and fishing every inch of free water he could find in Rocky Mountain National Park.

After taking what he calls “The Colorado Tour of Colleges” he settled into a leadership role with the family business, but eventually struck out on his own building a couple of pretty solid businesses along the way. He found his passion in the outdoors and is now hell bent on mixing business with pleasure.

He resides in Northern Colorado with his wife and three kids. He spends most of his time wrangling said kids, fishing flies, and bowhunting.

He considers himself a Professional Outdoor Amateur and would probably work from the river...if he didn't have a wife, three kids, a dog, HLE and like 10 other projects going on.

Justin doesn’t hunt or lift... we're working on it.

Bobby has 3 short hair pointers and spends most of his life catering to them. He also runs a non profit in his home state to help more people get off the couch and into the woods. He used to be a fat bastard. So he woke up one day, changed his lifestyle, and began to get his ass in shape. When you talk to him, your first thought will be “I want whatever this dude's on.” It’s not cocaine, he's just high on living and loves a good laugh.
