John and his wife, Susan, started this show out of a love and passion for the beauty of the Adirondacks. They have enjoyed the Adirondacks for over 40 years, and have fished, hunted, and hiked many of spots you see on the show. They view the park's wise use and protection as a cornerstone for the show. When not filming, they can be found wandering their property in Bloomingdale and enjoying what God has blessed them with.
