Most people see me as a businessman, a figure in the political world and a family man. While I certainly love all of these things I also felt the need to work on a passion project to highlight the adventurous spirit that lives within many of us. Field Ethos focuses on the things that truly matter: the places we go, the cultures that shape our perspective and the experiences that lie in wait for anyone willing to take a step into the unknown. As a Co-Founder of Field Ethos, Jason and I have undertaken a huge mission. We want to inspire you to to step into the wild to experience a life of adventure that, for most, only exists in books. I hope you’ll follow along and even take part in what we’re doing. Life’s greatest adventures are ahead of us all.

Jason Vincent – Founder, CEO

I’ve been chasing adventure since I was a kid. Growing up in a saltwater paradise certainly didn’t hurt. At 18, on a surf/fishing trip to Central America, I realized that experiencing remote lands and cultures without the filters of modernity would be my life’s passion. When I was 23, in East Africa, I saw how beauty and struggle and devastation and resilience can cohabitate to form a normal beyond what I could relate to. Since then I’ve continued to seek out experiences foreign to me, but I’m always drawn back to Africa.
I created Field Ethos for those of us who value adventure and the lessons learned along the way. We’re dedicated to showing the bigger picture of it all – the relationships we form, the amazing places we go and our responsibility to tell the unapologetic truth about who we are and the things that shape us.

Mike Schoby – COO

Having spent most of my life hunting, it is tempting to give the “Standard Outdoor Braggadocio” bio, i.e., “I’ve hunted 42 states, every Canadian Province, every continent and Africa.” More than most are lucky enough to experience in ten lifetimes. But that form of ego-masturbation is not interesting to anyone other than yourself. What is interesting, and what I have found makes an adventure and creates life lessons, is the unscripted weirdness that happens simply because you were there…such as spending a night in a Botswana jail cell or getting held up at AK-point by Mexican drug smugglers. Or getting drunk on Tusker beer somewhere east of the Amboseli plains before wrestling a Masai warrior for five bucks. Final Schoby life lesson: No matter how tempting it seems, don’t wear a tux and a custom kilt while stalking stags in Scotland…the locals don’t approve.

Colin Jones – CFO

I love premium tequila, fine guns, and good food. I also relish my Texas background and cherish the simplistic lifestyle that rural America brings. My 9-year NFL career, mostly with the Carolina Panthers, brought many ups and downs, including playing in Super Bowl 50 and being voted team captain. My wife always made sure every bye week could be filled with an epic hunting adventure on my short mid-season getaways. Midwest bow hunting and recreational land development is my unrivaled passion. The complete process involved in growing free range Boone and Crockett whitetails, and raising my boys in this environment, holds a special place in my heart.

David Eder – CO-CEO

I’m a lifelong outdoorsman, and I’ve been hunting and fishing since I could hold a rod or shoulder a gun. From tarpon fishing in the Keys, to elk hunting in the West, to fly fishing in Alaska, bowhunting in Botswana, and spearfishing in Montauk, I’ve made some incredible memories, but I’ll always enjoy deer and duck hunting on my native Long Island, New York, the most. I’ve spent 25 years in the outdoor industry. After college, I worked as an editor for Outdoor Life / Field and Stream Magazines, Harris publications and Petersen’s Bowhunting Magazine. I then started Eders Archery and BowhuntingOutlet.com which have become two of the largest retailers of archery and bowhunting equipment in the world. Four years ago, I founded Droptine Spirits – a line of bourbon and vodka for outdoorsmen. Of all of my business endeavors, I am most excited about Field Ethos. It is a true honor to be able to share the stories, the cultures and shared dreams that outdoorsmen seek. We hope to make Field Ethos a home for both the accomplished and aspiring outdoorsman.

ron dan – president

Growing up in South Florida, saltwater and freshwater fishing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From the moment I figured out the concept of a gun and saw them being used on Walker, Texas Ranger, I wanted to know everything I could about them. I started my career in the firearms and outdoor industry as a teenager and have been blessed to mix work with my hobbies since then. Through my time in this industry, I have been exposed to hunts and trips across the globe that I could only dream of when I was younger. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with and learn from some of the greatest minds our industry has seen. I couldn’t be happier to be a part of the Field Ethos team where we get a chance to share our experiences with an incredible audience.

CHARLIE BENTON – MANAGING EDITOR

I grew up in the woods and on the water in South Carolina and I’ve always loved the outdoors. Several years ago, on my first hunt, a primal switch flipped. I knew hunting would become a huge part of the rest of my life. Prior to coming on board at Field Ethos, I served for over a decade as a police detective specializing in human trafficking and homicide investigations, witnessing the primitive nature of man. Now, as the managing editor of Field Ethos, I’m committed to bringing you distinctively engaging adventure and uncompromising lifestyle articles from around the world, and I look forward to sharing your stories of memorable times afield and the experiences that brought you to the Field Ethos brand.
