Born and raised in the Great Lakes State, Ernie DeSantis graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, and is currently nearing completion of his Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership and Administration. For over ten years he has been blessed to teach 5th grade students in his hometown of Dearborn, Michigan, where he currently resides with his wonderful wife Stacey, and their two beautiful children, Vincia, and Valentino. It was Ernie’s dad who instilled in him at an early age the importance of safe, and legal, outdoor sportsmanship. More so, Ernie Sr. created in him a true respect for the sport, and an utter reverence for the animals in which he pursues. In 2010, Ernie, and good friend Jose’ Del Otero caught the break of a lifetime when their application was accepted to be a part of the cast of Dream Season Workin’ Man TV. A great deal of thanks goes to Drury Outdoors for giving them the opportunity to expand on their passion, and take it to an entirely new level. God is first and foremost in Ernie’s life. The Whitetail Fix TV is a blessing, and his undying thanks goes to God.
