From his first backpack hunt in the wilderness of his home state of Colorado, Van fell in love with the challenge, solitude, and adrenaline of wild adventures in nature. That passion has taken him to remote destinations around the world, pursuing exceptional animals in some of the most unforgettable mountain landscapes on earth.

For the past eight years, Van channeled his deep knowledge of hunting and shooting into building elite, precision mountain rifles, crafted to help his customers confidently pursue and fulfill their own hunting dreams.

Van is excited to carry that same commitment to customer satisfaction into his work with Worldwide Trophy Adventures, where he now helps clients identify the right trips and outfitters to turn life-long hunting goals into unforgettable memories.
