Part Ernest Hemingway, part Grizzly Adams, and part down-home philosopher, Mark Shepard is 100% American. His story of near-death experiences, hunting adventures, tournament fishing competitions, family bonds, and an overarching love for the outdoors will entertain, inform, and inspire everyone from like-minded outdoorsmen to urban homebodies.
Mark’s career includes stints as a commercial fisherman (beginning at age 14), farmer, steelworker, bartender, bodyguard, professional bass fisherman, lure designer, and master fishing guide. And through it all, his work ethic, sense of humor, love of people, and respect for all of God’s creatures shines like a beacon on the America our founding fathers envisioned.
