What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreHatch loves that nature is always full of surprises! From catching fish and finding turtles to spotting deer, coyotes, birds, and hogs whenever he visits the family ranch, every day outside is a new adventure.
Hatch is obsessed with marine life — fish, sharks, rays, you name it. He’s drawn to the mystery of what lives beneath the water and loves any chance he gets to explore that world firsthand.
Fishing is always a favorite, but Hatch lives for any time spent outdoors — riding through the ranch in the buggy, watching wildlife roam, and exploring whatever nature throws his way. He’s a true adventurer at heart.
