FOUNDER

AJ grew up in North Carolina and New Hampshire and is a Combat Veteran of the Iraq conflict. A seasoned mountain climber and guide, he has summited two of the Seven Summits—Denali and Kilimanjaro—and climbed over 21,000 feet in Nepal. In 2018, after summiting Mount Rainier, he underwent his first hip replacement. Despite this, he continued guiding on Mount Rainier and Mount Baker in 2019. In 2020, he took up hunting in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Facing the need for a second hip replacement, he sought alternatives to treestands and discovered saddle hunting. In 2021, he founded HuntLyte, LLC to create a lightweight, comfortable, and safer saddle that met his personal and professional needs better than what was available on the market.

Noah has lived in New Hampshire his entire life and developed a passion for hunting at a young age. Introduced to the sport by his father, he began hunting during youth weekends around the age of 11 or 12. On his first trip, he spotted a buck but couldn’t find it in the scope before it spooked off. The rush of that moment had him hooked, and he has been heading into the woods every season since.
