Born and raised on a ranch in Southern California, I soon learned to work hard, ride broncs, bulls, and get into more trouble than should have been allowed! My youth was spent riding rodeo, logging, ranching and raising a lot of hell. Eventually, I moved to San Luis Obispo, California and there I started Murray Outfitters and the Cresent V ranch. It was here that I met and after considerable begging married Grace Pagano! After many years of guiding folks into the wilderness at Ragged Point, California we moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico where I'm starting colts and training gun dogs. Now as I grow long in the tooth, I've put pen to paper to bring a life filled with so much adventure that, i've chosen to share it with all of you.
