JOHN CASEY - PRO STAFF MANAGER

I was Born in 1991 in Maryland and raised in southern Lancaster, PA.  Didnt start hunting until I was in high school.  All it took was one invite from a friend and I was hooked!  Been waterfowl hunting since 2007 and it has slowly but surely became my life.  I have learned alot over the years from hunting with different people and have learned to love the outdoors.  I love helping out with the local non profit outdoor orginizations giving my time to pass on my knowledge to the youth and other hunters.  I started competition caling in 2010.  One thing I learned was you will never know until you step on the stage!  Taught myself how to call which makes every successful competition just that more special.  I appreciate the opportunity Dave and Final Glide Championship Calls bring me and look forward to the future with the company.    

ANDY MISTER - PRO STAFF

I got my first duck call at only a few weeks old and have been blowing calls ever since I could figure out how to make a noise out of it. I started hunting at the age of seven when my father took me goose hunting for the first time and I still remember it as if it were yesterday.  Since then I have hunted all over Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay chasing Canada’s, snows, puddlers , divers, sea ducks and turkeys. I have also been fortunate enough to hunt in a few different states and annually in Saskatchewan.  For me the greatest reward in waterfowling is the time spent with my yellow labs Dory and Stella. I am very blessed to have met so many good friends who have taught me so much and for all the memories made. I feel very fortunate to be a part of Final Glide and look forward to the seasons ahead.

Born in 1973, I grew up in Reinholds, PA. I am currently living in Schoeneck, PA, with my wife of 13 years and 3 awesome children. I grew up rabbit and deer hunting with my dad, grandfather and brother. Recently, goose hunting has taken top priority over all other types of
hunting. I just can’t get enough I Have also added goose calling contests to my list of things that I really enjoy. What a rush to be up on that stage. Having a quality call, and call maker too how to shave your reed for best performance. With a quality team and call like Final GlideChampionship Calls you can’t go wrong.

CHARLES POWELL - PRO STAFF

I was born and raised in Danville, IL, located in east central IL. Growing up near the towns lake and river always had me interested in waterfowl. Constantly seeing and hearing the migrating birds fly around, I had to pursue. At the age of 13 I went out for the first time and was hooked. Now after chasing birds around IL and IN I know I am hooked for life. Now the proud owner of Goose Noose Lanyards, I have built a relationship with Final Glide Calls and look forward to this for many years.

David Frisbie- Pro Staff

 Born 1983 in Childress, TX. I found my love for hunting with my grandfather in the panhandle of the Lone Star State pursing whitetail at the age of 5. Since then I have been fortunate enough to hunt everywhere from the plains of South Africa, to chasing mountain lion in the Rockies of Colorado and many places in between. However, the older I got the more my love for wing shooting grew. It doesn't matter if I was sitting in a sunflower field in west Texas waiting on a flock of dove or the Chesapeake Bay watching canvasbacks decoy. I now work guiding whitetail deer, hogs, turkey and waterfowl hunts here in the North Texas area. In my opinion there is nothing more rewarding than watching someone harvest a trophy animal or their first deer

Joe Danenza - Pro Staff 

 Born in 1988 in southeast pa, I knew at an early age that the outdoors was in my blood. Before I could walk, my old man had me in the outdoors and I've never left. Although I love to hunt and fish for it all, waterfowl has always been where my heart lies. I bought my first acrylic call at age 15 and I am still hooked on competing and constantly trying to improve. Until this day I can still remember being nearly kicked out of my house for blowing my calls to much but it was all worth it when those first few honkers locked their wings and took their final glide into my spread. Now I spend most of my time passing what I know onto new people to the sport and enjoying the looks on their faces the first time they get to see the beauty of waterfowling. After all the most important thing is to "PASS IT ON".

 GREG GOODMAN - PRO STAFF

Born in 1965, I currently live in Ephrata, PA. I started deer hunting in 1991 with a group of buddies from work (Peer pressure). From that day forward, I had a passion for hunting and one thing led to another from rifle season , to archery, to small game.  In 2006, I was introduced to the incredible world of waterfowl hunting. This was a game changer for me.  Since that time I have worked on developing my waterfowl  hunting skills with the help of many friends and members of the Final Glide team. I enjoy sharing my experiences and helping others achieve the same awesome experiences I have. I look forward to working with the Final Glide team to help others get the most out of their water fowling adventures

CHRIS RAGNI - PRO STAFF

Born in 1992, at the age of 3 I was already fishing with my Father. A couple years later he brought me into another passion, Waterfowl Hunting.  Growing up in Lewes, Delaware, about 8 years ago I started to hunt hard, which included Deer, Duck, Geese and Squirrel. If it had a season and was good to eat I hunted it! Now currently living in Milton, Delaware, I continue to fish from Spring through Fall and add in hunting straight through Winter time. Having obtained my Captains License, my plan is to start my own guide service soon. I love the outdoors and the sport of hunting and fishing. Thank to Dave at Final Glide for bringing me into this great team. I hope to share my love for the outdoors with my fellow Pro-Staffers and plan on having a great time in the field!

Eric Sweiderk- Pro Staff

My passion for hunting certainly didn’t get passed down, my father wasn’t a hunter nor were any of my grandparents. Not quite sure were it came from being I live in New Jersey but there was always the desire. I began hunting somewhat late in life, late teens, cutting my teeth on shooting doves in Nebraska while at college. Ever since then its been game on. I quickly began feeding that passion by becoming an avid bow hunter , slowly working my way into the realms of water fowling. I’ve been hunting waterfowl now for about 15yrs and fell in love in such a way that only water fowlers can describe. From the carving of my own hollow cedar decoys, to the building of all my sneak boxes, even to the point of qualifying and heading to Arkansas for the World Duck call Championship of 2006. Now my passion is focused on the young ones and equipping them with the values that will give this long time tradition, the very heart and backbone it needs to survive…All with the help of great people like Dave Rhine and Final Glide calls and Staff.

Jimmy Eck - Pro Staff

Born in 1992 and raised in Essex, Maryland. Before I can even remember I was in the woods and on the boat hunting, trapping, fishing, and crabbing, with my dad and grandfather.  I successfully completed the hunter safety course and boating safety course at the ages of 7 and 10. Since then, I have been hunting all over MD with my friends and family. I started my own hunting group the “Qwack Smackers” and I’m hoping to turn it into a guiding service later down the road. Basically my life has revolved around hunting since I was born. There is nothing like hunting Maryland’s Famous Eastern Shore for some huge honkers, the great Chesapeake Bay for some extremely fast Sea ducks, divers, and the King Canvasback, or the local rivers for some cupped up Puddle Ducks. My hobbies besides hunting include Dirt bikes, Quads, Diesel trucks, Jeeps, and the list goes on and on.  I am very excited to be a part of Final Glide Championship Calls and can’t wait to see what the future will bring
