About Us

  Born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, Jacob spent his childhood all across the state hunting and fishing with his father. From Roanoke River striped bass, to Watauga River trout, to down east ducks, to piedmont whitetails and turkeys he's chased them all. 

Jacob realized that he not only had a passion for hunting but creating, developing, and maintaining habitat for just that. Jacob is a licensed and insured prescribed burn contractor and a North Carolina real estate broker.  His goal is to help and assist landowners maximize their investment and recreational properties to their full potential. 

    Born and raised in Newport News, Virginia, Christine spent her childhood immersed in sports, particularly swimming. Her talent earned her multiple swimming scholarships, leading her to Texas A&M University, where she majored in Business Management with a minor in Sports Management. During her time at Texas A&M, Christine distinguished herself by winning 13 Big XII titles, securing 19 All-American honors, and earning a Bronze Medal at the 2008 Olympics.

A serendipitous encounter on a flight home from a work trip introduced Christine to Jacob, who was returning from a hunting excursion with his father. Intrigued by Jacob’s passion for hunting and the outdoors, Christine embraced the sense of community and respect for nature that the sport embodies. Since co-founding Wildflow, she has taken charge of office operations and management. Christine is dedicated to fostering a love for hunting culture, hoping to instill these values in their two sons, Jaxson and Jefferson, as they grow up in the industry.

        Despite being raised in the triangle area, Trey’s passion for the outdoors and wildlife began where his family roots can be found in South Carolina. His childhood summers were spent with his Papa Don or father at Cherry Grove Beach where they would catch flounder or set out the frequent crab pot. You could also find him at his cousin’s farm in Parksville, South Carolina hunting duck, deer, turkey, and quail. During his early teen years, Trey enjoyed working landscape and hardscape jobs, taking on any projects where he could be outside mowing lawns or creating custom landscape designs. 

 After discovering his love for land and habitat management, Trey reached out to Wildflow and decided to join the team in March 2023.  He is excited for the opportunity to help Wildflow grow and promote a culture that he grew up loving and respecting. 

Born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, Kelby spent his childhood in Eastern North Carolina, where he enjoyed hunting whitetails and fishing for anything that would bite alongside his dad and older cousin. During his teenage years, he continued hunting whitetails, ducks, and wild hogs with friends while fishing for largemouth bass. 

With over 15 years of experience as a mechanic, Kelby discovered that he could combine his passion for working on vehicles with his love for the outdoors by working with Wildflow.

Born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, Slater developed a deep love for the outdoors from a young age. He spent his summers fishing with his father in the Gulf Stream and along the coast of Wrightsville Beach. When not at the beach, he enjoyed hunting deer, turkey, ducks, and boar on his family's farms in Pender, Wilson, and Granville counties.

Upon moving back home, Slater’s passion for the outdoors was reignited, leading him to pursue a career in the wildlife industry. He connected with Wildflow and, after two years of building a relationship with the team, was offered the position of Wildlife Services Assistant Manager. In March 2024, Slater proudly joined the Wildflow team, bringing his dedication and experience from the civil construction industry to support our mission in land and wildlife management.

Born in Roanoke Rapids and raised in Wake Forest, Josh spent most of his childhood with his first love... Baseball. From the age of six, Josh trained and competed all over the country. When not out on the field or in the gym, you could find him fishing at Lake Gaston or hunting deer in Halifax County. Ultimately Josh’s commitment and passion for the sport of baseball led him to the coast, where he played Division 1 Baseball for UNC-Wilmington, and earned a degree in Recreation and Sports Leadership in 2014. 

When Josh is not out meeting with landowners, marking property lines or checking on jobs, he enjoys traveling the country chasing waterfowl with his Labrador Retriever, Levi. We are excited to have Josh on our team and look forward to seeing both his Career with Canal Wood and Wildflow continue to grow!
