JAMES RUMFELT, CHAPIN

WHY- The true reason is almost impossible to put into words, but if I had to simplify if it would go something like this: to impart as much knowledge on others in order for them to feel even a fraction of the same passion I do for conservation. I want everyone to, at the very least, understand and appreciate the importance of protecting and revitalizing the wildlife and plants of this beautiful state. Maybe even pick up a couple of supporters along the way.

BIO- Born and raised in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. I spent my childhood and teenage years with my aunt and uncle on a plantation in Sheldon, SC. I’m an avid hunter and fisherman who recently relocated to Chapin for work. I have a lovely wife and two wonderful boys. I’ve been a member of Ducks Unlimited, South Carolina Waterfowl Association, Quality Deer Management Association, and guided hunts for the Ducks Unlimited Waterfowl Warriors. Over the past few years, I have really put my focus on “the big picture”, which has really driven me to spend more time trying to make our planet a little more sustainable. I hope throughout the rest of my life to help educate others about wildlife and raise two boys who have the same appreciation for it as I do.
