Ryan "Koup" Kuperus is a retired USMC Gunnery Sergeant. After a devastating Humvee rollover accident, his femur and back were both broken. The nature of his accident and experiences overseas left him searching for answers on how to adjust to life at home. The outdoors and hunting provided him with an escape. Now, he works on engaging other veterans and people going through experiences like his to hunting and the outdoors. Using the experiences of nature and hunting traditions, he works to give others the healing he found in the peacefulness of the wilderness.
