Carreker has always had a partner he has gone and invested in things with. He made sure he would have enough capital and he and his partner started to acquire different apartment buildings and renovate them and sell them for more profit.

Day 6 Outdoors is continuing to grow and help design, market, and build new hunting and outdoor equipment. Sports teach you to never give up.
