David “KraQr” Culver grew up on a small farm in Southeast Missouri which helped ingrain a passion for the outdoors and develop a foundation in his life.  He not only grew up with working experiences on a farm but was introduced to all things sporting goods as a small child.  His father owned and ran a small sporting goods store which focused primarily on firearms and repair.   At a very early age Dave gained a mutual interest in firearms and how to safely use them.   Dave enjoys talking about firearms and sharing stories of some of his personal collection.

Hunting rabbits, squirrels, coyotes, and other animals around the farm was always a teaching moment.  Hunting was a way of life and most of the time was for food rather than sport.    Dave became an avid fisherman and had plans of pursuing a professional career in tournament fishing as a teenager.   Distractions in life and other goals derailed his fishing plans but not the pursuit of a whitetail deer.   Dave started hunting whitetail deer as a teenager and continues to pursue that goal across many states and locations.   For him, It’s more about the experiences you share than the conquest of the hunt.

When not out scouring the woods, Dave works as a computer security architectural engineer and a real estate broker in the Panhandle area of Florida.   Dave is an Air Force veteran of Operation Desert Shield, Desert Storm, and many other deployments.  Dave spends his free time with his significant other, Jenell.   They recently bought a new home and as expected each had their own requirements while searching. She wanted a big kitchen and he had to have a yard big enough to practice shooting his bow.   Now they are both satisfied and she will hopefully join him in the tree stand this year.
