My name is Jason Lawrence and Hunting saved my life. No seriously it did, I used to work in nightclubs as a bouncer and was on a vicious road to destruction when I found hunting back in 2000 and have been climbing ever since.

When I was a teenager I competed at the national level racing BMX bikes, the highlight of that was getting all the free Mountain Dew I could drink while sponsored by them and of course getting all my races and bikes paid for, wish I had that with Bowhunting.[:@]

I also ran a snowboard shop for seven years and nearly got into the whole gatebashing scene as a snowboarder until the shop owner I worked for drove me nuts and I walked away from the job and sport. That job also afforded me all the free snowboarding stuff I wanted, wish I had that with bowhunting.[:@]

After the snowboarding thing I got into working out, then power lifting but never competed. I also got into the night club scene and all that goes with that. Worked at several clubs including a few appearances at the famous Chicago Crow Bar. That grew old and got me into my first marriage which was a disaster but I did have a father in law that I shared my growing bowhunting passion with until it ended.[:@]

Currently I am a call center manager and once again married with two dogs living an hour west of Chicago. My wife is awesome and lets me hunt as much as I need to. I have met some great people on here in the short time I have been on here and have a new hunting buddy thanks to HNI. I am currently 35 years young and loving life
