John Pate
      I am 35 y/o and live in Tecumseh, MI. I grew up fishing the Raisin River with my dad Jack.
I was introduced to waterfowl hunting at the age of 19 by some co-works, and now have a great passion for chasing waterfowl.
I am married to a wonderful woman Heather and have 2 great children Tyler 14 and Nicole 11. I have a great career. I am a 911 Dispatcher and a Paid on call Firefighter / EMT of 12yrs. I enjoy taking new young hunters out and seeing the look on their faces after they have taken their first duck or goose, But most of all I love hunting with my son. I am also the area chair person for the Raisin Valley Chapter of DU in Lenawee Co. Michigan. I am very excited to be part of the Dakota Decoy field staff.
