Keith has killed world class animals all over the world including the grand slam of sheep. Keith now operates an outfitting business “Graham Outdoor Adventures” on his farm in Central Illinois. Derek admits that he is lucky to have been raised in a family that was so supportive of his hunting ambitions. He also has a very loving and patient wife named Elissa, who is one hell of a cook! Besides hunting, Derek is a year-around outdoorsman who enjoys chasing pretty-much anything that can walk or fly throughout the year!
When Derek isn’t hunting, he is working as a Patrolman for the Carlinville City Police Department. Derek has been working as a policeman for over 8 years, and truly enjoys his job serving and protecting his community.
Todd’s Comments:
In the short time I’ve known Derek, and his entire family, I can only say that Derek has turned into a very good friend. He is probably one of the nicest guys you will ever meet; anyone who would stand in a dove blind with me shooting a shot-gun is just plain “too nice”. I actually met both Derek and his good friend and filming partner at the Illinois Deer Classic just this past February. In the short time I’ve known Derek, I can already be assured that this team will work their tail off to get the job done on-camera. Derek possesses the drive and determination it takes to produce a good storyline each year. I’m just lucky we’re the production company that landed this team!
