John Swanson is one of UFFDA’s disabled members, and had been an active member since the very first UFFDA hunt 20-years ago.

He has served on the Board previously and currently serves as the Range Master at the Camp Wilderness Hunt. John has been an exemplary member since 1995, in spite of his claims of being deserted in the heat of battle. John lives with his family in Sauk Rapids, MN and works at the V.A.
