Nick Hoffman

Featured Guest Speaker

CMA Award-winning fiddle player, country artist, songwriter, TV host, radio personality and conservation advocate, Nick is a true Renaissance outdoorsman. From small-town Minnesota to the biggest stages in country music, Nick's journey has taken him from sharing the spotlight with Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban and Brooks & Dunn to hosting the hit Outdoor Channel series, Nick's Wild Ride. 

Now entering its 11th season, Nick's Wild Ride follows him around the globe as he hunts and explores the culture, food, history and music that make each place unique. The show has earned more than 20 Telly Awards and Outdoor Sportsman's Golden Moose Award for Best Conservation, making Nick one of the most recognizable voices in the industry.

As our keynote speaker, Nick will share the stories, songs and spirit that define his adventures and his belief that hunting connects us to something much bigger: the land, the people and the traditions that find us all. Expect an evening full of energy, humor and inspiration you won't want to miss.
