Phillip Morris is a skilled, passionate hunter—but that is only the skin he wears. The man inside that skin is summed up in three words: determined, persevering, overcomer. The heart inside the man beats to help others find those same words in themselves.

Like probably most hunters, his passion for the outdoors began in his childhood, when he dreamed of going hunting. But he had one major difference from most aspiring hunters: he was born with profound deafness, which means that his ears are physically unable to detect any level of sound. Between that and a family who did not support the hunting lifestyle, he found that door closed to him for many years.

Being immersed in deaf culture inside his home (as several members of both sides of his family are also deaf), while trying to fit into the world of his hearing peers who often lacked under- standing, challenged Phillip’s strength and determination:

“…I decided that I would not try to prove them wrong, but to prove myself right, that I can put my mind to whatever I want to happen, despite that I cannot hear anything at all. I believe my deafness is not a curse, but a blessing.” FROM HIS PASSION AND DETERMINATION SILENT ASSASSIN CHRONICLES WAS BORN!
