Brant Knotts is an avid outdoorsman, devoted father, and strong man of faith who is passionate about teaching his children the value of hunting, fishing, and respecting God’s creation. Growing up on a family farm in Ohio, Brant developed a deep love for the outdoors through hunting deer, turkey, and waterfowl, as well as fishing with his father. Now raising his own family in North Carolina, Brant makes it a priority to pass down these outdoor traditions to his children, emphasizing patience, gratitude, and faith along the way. Whether it’s through early morning duck hunts, fishing trips, or simply admiring a sunrise in nature, Brant uses these moments to instill biblical values and a deep appreciation for the blessings of the outdoors. His commitment to raising his children in both the outdoors and in faith highlights his mission of creating lifelong memories and ensuring his children understand the importance of family, stewardship, and trust in God’s plan.
