Mike has been an avid hunter since he was 11 years old.  Cutting his teeth in the whitetail woods and bird hunting around Ohio.  He now makes his home in N. Idaho, pursuing animals in the thick forests and steep mountains. He understands the dedication and effort that goes into the hunt, and treats your kill with that same level of appreciation.

Mike holds a doctorate degree in Biology with a focus on Anatomy and Physiology. His knowledge of the anatomy of animals is unparalleled in both the field and on the butcher block.  He applies this knowledge to EVERY animal he butchers. He has been butchering wild game animals since 1992. His extensive time behind the butcher block, knowledge of anatomy and understanding of what it takes to hunt animals makes him the perfect choice to honor YOUR kill.

Mike is the creator of the CutRite Mobile app that teaches people all aspects of field dressing and handling their animal from the field to the table. He is also the founder of Credo Outdoors, conducting weekend classes to teach hunters with hands on education how to quarter and butcher their kill.

“I have heard horror stories of people who use processors for their game and don’t get their meat back because it is mixed with other peoples animals. An animal killed with the perfect shot and expires quickly should never be mixed with another animal. You put a ton of effort and energy into killing an animal for food, you absolutely do not want that meat mixed with meat from a salvage permit or from meat not properly cared for in the field. With Primal Edge Pursuits, YOU have zero doubt that YOUR animal is the one you get back, as I will only process and butcher YOUR animal while at your house. You put in the work, you deserve your animal.”
