Roy has been married to his wife Sasha for 24 years and has two son's, Russell (23) and Braden (16). They live in Enfield NH where he is currently the Chief of Police. Roy was born into a military family. When his father got out of the Army they moved to Grafton, NH where he graduated high school and joined the Marine Corps. Roy was called back into the Marines after 9/11 for several deployments. Upon returning home he joined the 3/172 Mountain Infantry unit of the Vermont Army National Guard. He deployed to Iraq in 2006 and again to Afghanistan in 2009-2010. He was injured in Ramadi in 2006 by shrapnel from a SVBIED. Roy was introduced to hunting and fishing by his grandfather at a young age. He has continued to carry on that tradition throughout his life. One of his biggest passions is teaching others the skills of hunting and fishing. He especially enjoys passing on knowledge and experience to new hunters. He was introduced to WWIA by a very good friend, Wesley Black in 2016 and in 2019 he helped start the NH Bear and Bass event for WWIA and he looks forward to hosting that event each year.
