Bodie was raised in the outdoors. He’s spent his whole life in the northeastern part of Oklahoma. Bodie’s been a part of the Rodeo scene his whole life, and he likes to Team Rope as much as possible. After playing baseball and basketball in high school, he played baseball for Arkansas Tech for one year before transferring back to Oklahoma State, where he graduated with a degree in Instrumentation Engineering. He learned how to deer hunt at a very early age, and got into waterfowling with his best friend (and fellow Field Staffer) Matt Lewis when he was 16. On June 10th 2017, Bodie said the big “I do” to his wonderful wife Baleigh.
