Meet First Lite Pro Team Member David Wise, a decorated Olympic athlete, bow hunter, and a man pushing his boundaries of self-sufficiency. Born in Reno, Nevada, David learned how to hunt from his father while pursuing mule deer to fill the family freezer. At the age of 18, he decided to pursue the life of becoming a professional skier. It was a grind, and along the way, he developed a mindset of creating balance in his life around the things that matter most to him.
