In a short interview Lee told me the story of how he got started. Lee described himself as a below average student in school. After High School Lee went to college and became a Chemical Engineer. Following his dream and his love of the outdoors Lee worked as an Engineer to purchase his farm & plant food plots. Later down the road Lee and Tiffany began their TV show Getting Close and has been a success ever since. 

After personally meeting Lee and Tiffany Lakosky I can honestly say I have never met a friendlier couple who are as passionate for hunting and the outdoors as these two are.
