Joey Faigl - COO/CFO/Co-Founder

Joey Faigl was born in Rock Springs, Wyoming and still resides there. He is a graduate of Rock Springs High School in 1992. Hired on with the Union Pacific Railroad in 1997 and was employed there for 16 years accomplishing great things in their safety program and achieving awards from Union Pacific and an overall award among all railroad companies, which was accepted in Washington DC.

Joey works hard for the organization and wants to make a difference. Faigl has a passion for mule deer and has for over 40 years. His first mule deer shed at the age of 5 may have influenced that, but the time spent in the winter ranges since 1990 filming and photographing the species has definitely increased his love and knowledge for the grayghost of the West. Besides his passion for mule deer and enjoying everything that includes the outdoors, Joey tries to find time to create pencil drawings of his favorite subject (wildlife), volunteer for community projects, be involved with local youth sports, watching the Wyoming Cowboys, enjoys graphic design, and video production. Joey loves to laugh, strives to bring joy to his surroundings, and is usually laid back. Joey is a down to earth guy and wouldn't change his ways for anything. He likes to be the good ol' Wyoming boy. Although everything above is great, his true priorities in this world is Faith & Family. God comes first, his wife Nikki is second, and his three sons; Brady, Brendan, and Hunter follow right behind. Creating memories with his family in God’s creations is what he loves the most.

Chris Steffen - Director of Operations

Chris Steffen was born in Rochester, New York in 1969. His parents had visited Wyoming on their honeymoon and decided they wanted to move out west and buy a ranch. When Chris was very young, his family carried out that dream and purchased a ranch in northern Wyoming, where Chris spent his childhood days helping the family raising cattle, working the fields, bombing around the dirt roads and doing all things outdoors. Hunting and fishing were a huge part of his life. Growing up, Chris spent a lot of time in the Big Horn mountains and mountains of the Cody area. Chris graduated from Rocky Mountain High School in 1987 and attended college for two years at Northwest Community College before transferring to Montana State University to finish up his schooling. Chris then took an about-face and rather than going into what he studied in college, he sought out a career in law enforcement. Chris entered the Pre-Service program at the Wyoming Law Enforcement academy, as it was in its beginning stages, and was the first civilian in the state of Wyoming to attend the WY Law Enforcement Academy and become a certified law enforcement officer, graduating with the class 91C69. Chris applied with a few different law enforcement agencies around the state, but found his home with the Green River Police Department in February of 1992. Chris worked a variety of positions within the GRPD, starting with patrol officer, Juvenile Detective, Patrol Corporal, Detective Sergeant, Patrol Lieutenant and lastly Chief of Police. Chris attended and graduated from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia in 2005. The years serving and protecting the community of Green River were some of the proudest moments in his life. Chris retired from the Green River Police Department in November of 2017 and immediately went to work for the Muley Fanatic Foundation. Prior to working for MFF, Chris had gotten involved with Foundation as a volunteer with the Southwest Chapter, having felt it was important to give back to the outdoor world that he loved and to try to help the icon of the west, mule deer. He served on the Allocation Committee, took over as the Chairman for that group and then moved to the banquet committee. Chris served as both chapter co-chair and later, chapter chair of the SW Wyoming Chapter. Chris is a devoted family man and loves spending time with his wife Andrea, son Easton and identical twin daughters, Chloe and Clair doing everything they can in the outdoors. Summer camping, fishing, archery and of course, fall hunting, is what keeps Chris going! Chris is also a Wyoming Game and Fish Hunters Education Instructor, further assisting getting kids and other perspective hunters to get into the field. Most weekends Chris can be found with family or friends hunting or fishing in Southwest Wyoming, enjoying the outdoors and all of God’s creation.

In 2020 Janet and her husband purchased their dream property in the Mountains outside Kemmerer, Wyoming where they spend all their free time making it into what will be a full-time home one day!
