The Team
Meet your team of highly qualified hunting enthusiasts. At the core, these individuals are dreamers — just like you!
Derek Borkholder
Owner / Property Consulting & Sales
Derek shot his first deer at 11, sparking a lifelong passion that evolved into managing properties for healthier deer herds. In 2018, Derek heard that his longtime friend, Leon Miller, was launching his own land management company. After jokingly suggesting Leon should hire him, Derek joined the cause, and a business was formed. Today, he is living his dreams, and he often reflects on the words of Don Higgins: “Dream big, God’s reality is way bigger than our own.”
Kenny Borkholder
Customer Service & Sales
Kenny manages the office, warehouse, and order processing, ensuring you're taken care of and we stay well-stocked. His passion for land stewardship began at age six, planting trees with his dad. He received his first gun, at 22, early on and grew up hunting. A video of Don Higgins harvesting a buck sparked Kenny’s deeper interest in deer hunting. After attending a Tagout Technique seminar in 2021, he got the chance to join the team. He accepted—and hasn’t looked back since.
Charity Raasch
Marketing & Operations Director
Charity serves as the Marketing and Operations Director at WestWind Wildlife, where her passion for the outdoors meets her professional drive. While she's never hunted, her love for hiking and the natural world runs deep. Her curiosity about hunting grew when her older brother got into bowhunting, sparking a genuine interest in the lifestyle and values it represents. When WestWind offered her a position in 2025, she responded with an enthusiastic "yes," excited to be part of a mission that aligns with her love for the land and the people who steward it.
