​     Hi, I am Justin Kumbier! I work as a HVAC Technician for Major Mechanical based in                      Waukesha, WI. In my free time I enjoy hunting with my family, hanging out with friends and      helping out other local organizations. I currently serve as the Vice President of the                        Wisconsin State NWTF and President of the Jefferson County NWTF Chapter. I started my involvement with the NWTF 12 years ago with my wife, Tabitha. Tabitha and I have worked side by side the last 11 years growing our local chapter and getting more people involved with the NWTF. Both of my children; Bentley and Bristol, are Lifetime Jakes NWTF members and will be the future of our local chapter and NWTF as a whole. They both have a love and passion for the outdoors that has been welcomed by all of our NWTF family! Our local chapter has recently started a Youth/Learn to Hunt for turkeys where we have partnered with the Marshall, WI Lions Club. I am proud to be part of such a great, growing organization. If you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out, I would love to help!

​
  Hi, I’m Karen Seitz! I live in Mauston, WI with my dog Velcro and cat Nome, and        during the day I work from home for a health insurance company handling claims.
   I got involved with the National Wild Turkey Federation shortly after graduating         college when I signed up for a Learn to Hunt program with the Glacier Valley Gobblers in Sauk County. My mentor, Tyler Hasheider, convinced me turkey hunting was something special—and he was right. Hearing that first gobble echo through the woods and watching a tom strut in close changed everything. From that moment on, I was hooked.
Since then, I’ve been passionate about wild turkey conservation and the hunting heritage the NWTF supports. I’m proud to serve on the Wisconsin NWTF State Board and help organize the Summit Ridge Gobblers event with fellow board member Diane Starling. Watching it grow over the past few years has been incredibly rewarding.

          ​11694 S. Railroad Street
          Solon Springs, WI  54873
          ​(715) 718-1018 
I'm originally from Marshfield, Wisconsin, and was on the Marshfield Area Gobblers first banquet committee in the mid-1990's.  In 1997, I move to Douglas County and joined the Gitchee Gumme Chapter, serving as vice president and then president for five years.  I continue to be on the banquet committee, and am the coordinator of the Youth Learn to Hunt Turkey program, a position I’ve done for all 21 years of its existence.
As a career law enforcement officer, I retired in 2022 from the Wisconsin DNR as a park supervisor. In 2012, I was awarded the Wisconsin NWTF Law Enforcement Officer of the Year.   One of my biggest accomplishments was to liaison between the NWTF and the WDNR to get turkeys released in 2003 in Douglas and Bayfield Counties.  I was able to get the Solon Springs Elementary School students to be involved in the release.     
I’ve been turkey hunting since 1989, and greatly enjoy taking new hunters out, calling for them, and teaching them the techniques I’ve learned over the years so they can continue to enjoy this bird and the sport of hunting them ethically.
Along with volunteering for the NWTF, I’ve been a hunter education instructor since 1991.  I taught instructors for the National Archery in the Schools Program for several years.  I serve as the Douglas County Delegate Chair for the Wisconsin Conservation Congress.  I am an ordained Permanent Deacon with the Catholic Church and serve St. Anthony Parish in Superior.
My wife and I have been married for 33 years, and live in Solon Springs.  I enjoy making decorative turkey box calls and elaborate charcuterie boards made from a variety of woods.

​Hi, I am Sam Neisius! I work as an Industrial  Electrician at Arandell in Menomonee Falls, WI.  I live in West Bend, and have been married to my wife, Megan, for almost 7 years now, and we have two wonderful children, Eli and Olivia.  I started my involvement with the NWTF 8 years ago when I joined the Jefferson County Displayers chapter, but recently decided that I am starting up a new chapter, the Dodge County Beard Draggers.  I have actively been attending banquets for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Prairie du Chien, where my uncle serves as the chapter president for the Bluff Country Long Spurs, so the NWTF runs deep in my family.  I am excited to be on the state board, and hope to help continue to grow  the conservation of turkeys, and continue to get more people involved in the NWTF.​
