We Proudly Introduce The MBS board Of Directors
I am 43 yrs old  born and raised on the upper eastern
shore of MD. I have been hunting since 1976 and
started bowhunting in 1989.
I am a life member of MBS serving as UESC Director
and current Vice President. Teaching  archery at Jr  
Hunter Field Days is a passion of mine as well as
chasing monster whitetails. I currently work
constructon remodeling homes and have a loving wife
 ,daughter and son.
I joined  MBS in 1977, but let my membership lapse in
the mid 80’s. I rejoined as a life member in 1995 and
have been active since. I became Treasurer in March
of 2008. I have been bowhunting since I was 12 years
old. Today I would still rather bowhunt than anything
else!!  I live on the same farm where I was born with
my wife Susan. We have 5 kids and 9 grandchildren.
I’m 46 years old. Born and raised in Maryland. I have
been addicted to bow hunting for 25 years. I have
been a member of MBS for 7 years. I hunt exclusively
with a bow and have been fortunate enough to bag a
lot of different critters. Although whitetails are my main
focus, I get away for an out of state adventure every
now and then. The other species I have hunted
include bear, elk and moose. I am very lucky to be
married to an understanding wife of 20+ years who
has supported/tolerated my infatuation with the bow
and arrow. I have two beautiful daughters ages 1 ½
and 3 ½.
MBS Executive Secretary: Bill Shaw
46 years young. Born and raised in Maryland. I am a
Life Member of the MBS. Retired Army and current
Federal Agent, I enjoy all types of hunting but chasing
White-tailed deer is my passion. I am an avid collector
of traditional recurve bows. What I most appreciate
about hunting though is the opportunity to fellowship
with friends. Having some good laughs with good
people is more fun to me than the actual hunt itself.
