Ben Deal

Ben was raised in North Georgia, where he developed a passion for fishing. During his teenage years, he taught fishing classes and volunteered at various summer camps and programs, including Trout Unlimited and the Boy Scouts. Following his graduation, Ben pursued a career as a full-time guide for several years. Eventually, he felt a calling to serve in ministry, prompting his move to Montana to join the Refuge Foundation team. After completing a couple of seasons on the Bighorn at the Montana location, Ben was promoted to the position of Fishing Director at the Refuge Foundation's Wyoming location, where he continues to serve in Hyattville, Wyoming. Ben states, "Serving others and fishing is my life."
