About Us

Kenny and I dove into the racing pigeon hobby back in 2000. I was in the 7th grade at the time. My best friend, Kendal, kept homing pigeons, and while I wasn’t new to birds—having grown up around dairy cattle and rolling pigeons—his birds still felt like something special.

Kendal had a way of explaining pigeons that just made sense to me. He compared the hobby to owning a Madden Football franchise—a video game I was obsessed with. He said with pigeons, you get to be the General Manager, the Head Coach, the Trainer, and the Nutritionist all at once. That hooked me instantly.

It took just one young bird season before Kenny was all in too. At first, we flew as separate lofts, but eventually, we joined forces under one roof so we could chase the dream of becoming the best loft in the club. Some of my best memories during those years are with my dad, working with the birds and learning together. I flew pigeons actively until my senior year in 2005. After that, life pulled me away from the sport until 2017, but my dad—Kenny—kept it going strong. He took over the birds and had some great years racing in the club.

In 2010, Kenny launched a One Loft Race to help keep our local club alive. He ran it for a couple of years as a way to give back and try to inject some life into the community. Unfortunately, the club eventually faded out, and since 2013, the One Loft Race has been his main way of staying connected with the birds. The great news is: the club is back! We’re up and running again, with about a half-dozen flyers participating.

Kenny has always had a special connection with animals. It's in his DNA to try and do the best with whatever venture he's pursuing. He started his own dairy in 1979 and was passionate about breeding the ideal Holstein cow. He competed in shows and bred many excellent cattle—until the dairy industry downturn forced my parents to sell in 1996.

Even during the dairy days, Kenny dabbled in rolling pigeons and had great success with a strong, competitive family of birds. Since 2000, he’s built an impressive homing pigeon program, sourcing top bloodlines from around the country. When he’s not in the lofts, you’ll probably find him building fences on the farm for the goats he’s recently taken an interest in—or breeding cows for Select Sires a few days a week. My parents have now been married for 47 years, and their love for animals and hard work still shines through.

As for me, I returned to Idaho in August 2017 after spending a decade in Maui and Oregon. I’m now a biology instructor at the local college. My wife and I have been married for 12 years and are blessed with three amazing children—two with us, and one we hold in our hearts. Most evenings and weekends, you’ll find me at the lofts—caring for the birds, remodeling, or just watching and taking it all in.

Kenny and I are fired up to keep building something special. Our goal is to create a race series that truly tests your birds. We avoid racing with tailwinds just to pad the stats. That might look good on paper, but it doesn’t tell you, the fancier, what your birds are really made of.

We’re committed to transparency and communication—admittedly, that’s been a weak spot for us in the past, but we’re working hard to improve it.

We love this sport. We love these birds. And we’re here to make it better, one season at a time.
