Diver Destroyers Bio - Tom Hindman, Jr.


Born and raised in South East Pennsylvania I've been waterfowl hunting just about my whole life. I've been married for 11 years to the girl of my dreams (Teresa) and I have a 8 year old son (Alex) who BTW is a DU Legacy Greenwing, and a 4 year old black lab (Koda) I currently am a PA State certified Water Treatment Plant Operator full time, and worked as a Deputy Wildlife Conservation Officer for the PA Game Commission for 10 years and was awarded for Meritorious Service. I still work with them on duck banding and maintaining 60+ wooduck boxes.

I have been a DU member for as long as I can remember, and served the Octoraro Chapter as their Area Chairman for 5 years. I now support DU as SE PA's District Chairman. I also write field reports for Great Lakes Waterfowler.com. I Pro Staff for Heavy Hauler Outdoor Gear, Mossy Oak's Atlantic Flyway Waterfowl Team, and Field Staff for Buck Gardner Calls. This is the first year that I started competition duck calling. I hunt mainly with my Brother-in-Law Tim, and good friends Rich & Steve for Canada geese & ducks. I also hunt in Maryland for seaducks. My passion is waterfowl hunting, but will be doing more hunting of other types now that my son is getting older.
