Born in Sulphur Springs, Texas on February 24, 1981, I grew up among hard working men who never had a minute to spare between faith, family, work, and hunting. I have a considerably large family most of witch live in an area that has become known as "Brumleyville." It's that one thing that makes me proud to be who I am today. I can't help but give credit to generations passed for setting this life up for myself and for my family. As a kid I grew up working on my parents dairy farm with my brother and sister. Between hay seasons and wading through the mud up to my knees during the winter there was always a tree to climb into hunt . I graduated high school with a class of 45 students in 1999. Thanks to the encouragement of my mother I started my first college classes at Stephen F. Austin. It took about 2 years before I decided on what I wanted to do. I finally graduated from SFA in 2003 with a degree in Agricultural Science and majoring in poultry science. Shortly after, I was offered a job with Pilgrims Pride which I gladly accepted and still have today. I married my wife Christy who I dearly love in August 2005. She has been exceptionally supportive in my passion for the outdoors. We are expecting the arrival of a baby girl, Journey Blake.
Since the development of Bluecollar Bowhunter, I try to make myself available as often as possible to my brother Jeremy and my brother-in-law Cody so that there will be a camera with a hunter at all times. We have all made many sacrifices and there will be many more to come. - Jared Brumley
