KERRY LOCKHART - LEWISTON, ID Life-long lover of the great outdoors. Love to shoot, hunt and fish. Kind of a “gear junkie”, I love technical products that have real world use....whether it’s Columbia clothes, Simms waders, Kimber rifles or Lamiglas rods, I love putting gear through the ringer and seeing what works! Enjoy living in the Lewiston/Clarkston valley - if the Blue mountains aren’t calling my name then the Snake river is......I guess God’s country is where you find it and there’s a great big piece of it right here. JAKE TWARDOWSKI - COEUR D’ALENE, ID (Musky Jake) Born and raised in Coeur d’ Alene, been fishing for 30+ years, competed in a few local tournaments, my number one passion is fishing. I fish for anything from black nose dace to sturgeon, and everything in between. Every year I am on the water or woods at a minimum 100 days, and now I am bringing both of my boys up in the same fashion. There is nothing better than teaching the next generation how to fish for everything in the local area. I am more than eager to answer any questions dealing with fishing or hunting, if you have any at all, feel free to call me here at the Coeur d’ Alene store. WAYNE JORDAN - COEUR D’ALENE, ID I was raised in Maine and spent all of my spare time in the outdoors. I met my wife in 2002 while working on a charter boat in Key West and have lived in the Pacific Northwest since 2003. Fishing is my passion in life, and I love sharing that passion with my customers and coworkers. You can find me working at our Coeur d’Alene store, so please feel free to stop by, get a cup of coffee and tell me about your latest fishing trip! JERRAD WHITE - LEWISTON, ID Growing up in North Central Montana I know how to work and play. My family and I, along with our 2 needy dogs, spend as much time in the outdoors as possible hunting and fishing. RAY PARKER - COEUR D’ALENE, ID Retired Air Force 22 years I was a weapons custodian for most of that. I have 7 years retail firearms experience, including appraising classic firearms and antiques. I’ve been around firearms all my life shot competitively some and hunted in Idaho, Texas, Utah, California, and Alaska, I hope to one day go to Africa. I love the outdoors, my wife and I enjoy camping, bike riding, hiking, and kayaking. JESSE OVA - GREAT FALLS, MT Buyer for North 40 Outfitters and lover of the outdoors. When I’m not working or helping my wife color her hair I enjoy fixing things around the house, wetting a hook in search of a local fish, and hiking the mountains in pursuit of Montana’s big game. PAUL CONSIDINE - GREAT FALLS, MT My earliest fishing memories are digging up worms in my grandparents’ yard in south central Minnesota and using them to catch sunfish, one after another. Those early days have led to chasing trout in Montana, walleye in Saskatchewan, steelhead in Idaho, and bonefish in Belize. I equally love rowing down a western trout stream in a drift boat and racing across the flats in a skiff. I am blessed to call Montana home and even more fortunate to share it with my wife. Life is short – go outside and go fishing! JACK HEDLUND For me if I could, I would fish 12 months out of the year. I gear fish and fly fish. When winter comes you will find me on one of the local lakes once the ice is thick enough told hold my big old body. My favorite style of fish is throwing streamers on the Okanogan River for small mouth bass. As some would say I’m a Jack of all fishing and a master of none. JEFF TAYLOR - COEUR D’ALENE, ID More the 25 years retail management experience. Avid hunter for over 40 years. Member of the ATA (Amateur Trap Association) Shot competitive Trap and Skeet for over 20 years. Enjoy all outdoor activities such as fishing, camping, hiking, kayaking, and quading. NORTH40.COM 5
