He has also been fortunate to experience several successful elk seasons in Idaho and Colorado. In addition to hunting, Kyle also enjoys flyfishing, outdoor photography, and capturing his adventures on video. He currently resides in Beaver County and is employed as a restoration ecologist.

Nathan began his passion for bow hunting at the age of 16, when he was set up with his first bow by a man named Dick Schupp. Mr. Schupp is a true inspiration to Nathan. He taught Nathan not only to hunt, but to respect the hunt as well as the animal. Hunting is a process that we are lucky to share and enjoy.

Nathan is the founder of Hunters for Parkinsons, NFP. This was inspired by Mr. Schupp, who is affected by the disease, but continues to hunt with precise skill and with the utmost of ethics. The premise of this not-for-profit corporation is to provide hunts to Parkinson’s patients who may never get a chance to go on a dream hunt prior to being affected by the symptoms of the disease. Also, they hope to raise funds for research and raise awareness of this disease.

Nathan resides in Illinois with his wife Sayah, and children Trenton and Jackson. He is an attorney who primarily practices transactional and corporate law.

Paul Lee formed Xtreme Outdoors with long time friend Karl Zainitzer. Paul has been an avid bow hunter for 22 years. He first became hooked on fishing as a young boy then become involved in shooting sports such as clays, target, and pistol. This opened the door to shooting a compound bow, which became his obsession. He has spent the last 20 years chasing his favorite animal, the whitetail deer.

Aside from hunting and filming, Paul enjoys teaching his children and their peers about the outdoors and hunting. When he’s not in the woods, his other passions are riding his street bike, four wheeling, and coaching his son’s football team.

Paul resides in New Jersey with his wife, son, and daughter. “I’m fortunate and grateful for the things and people I have in my life, take time to enjoy them……Life is good!”
