Kim Rappleye: America's Hunting Organizational Guru.

    Kim Rappleye formerly of SCI is now working in an exciting partnership with Dallas Safari Club.  Kim was instrumental in building a strong chapter program for SCI in spite of tremendous obstacles put in his way and horribly hostile management.  On a more positive note,  Kim brings a “can do” attitude to DSC combined with positively vast contacts across the country.  Rappleye hit the ground running signing up the powerful Lubbock Sportsman Alliance in North Texas as well as the Connecticut club.  Currently, he is working on forming an Austin chapter of DSC.   The first meeting in Austin was a powerful success indicating the tremendous support for DSC across the country.
    Rappleye, though not always appreciated within troubled organizations, has a tremendous track record of success.  After graduating from Utah State University, he opened a Chevron Service station.  He was the youngest Chevron’s Oil Dealer in the United States, thus beginning a career of spectacular achievement.  He built up a number of stations and a large employee workforce before beginning to develop commercial property.  
      Kim then began to ramp up his involvement in Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.  He eventually became Rocky Mountain State Chairman over 21 chapters and drove the first state in the US to net over a million dollars for RMEF. 
    He later took the position of executive Vice-President for Safewater Anywhere, a national hunting/military product company.  After successfully penetrating the hunting market he sold his interest in the company and took a job with SCI.   He was wildly successful, from 2003 till 2015, under Kim’s experienced hand SCI attained and exceeded record after record during an organizationally dysfunctional period where SCI went through no less than six (maybe more I lost count) Executive Directors and bitter regime changes.
      Kim, through these difficult times, was always a gentleman and focused on the bigger picture – his mission. Kim looks like a new man, twenty years younger, working for DSC.  It’s a healthy environment and an organization that cares for their employees.  In turn their members reciprocate with a thousand volunteers working for the common cause.  Kim is creating a legacy for all hunters through DSC. The incredible pro-hunter message of DSC is being taken international with the new local and regional chapter system.   Kim Rappleye is to DSC and American hunting as Frederick Russell Burnham was to the Boy Scouts of America, an inspiration.  The kind of man you want to follow, and one you can build an organization around.  DSC recognizing leadership secured the contributions of one of America’s top organizational geniuses in hunting.
