Kirk’s outdoor experiences started at an early age with his father. Spring and summer you could find the family camping and fishing on Toledo Bend. The fall and winter months were spent hunting and playing in the mud. In 1996, while running a successful business, he found time to create an outfitting and guide service. The arranged hunts included elk, bear, deer, duck and exotic animals.

  Recreational photography and videoing, with a strong desire to inform and entertain, led Kirk to produce his own outdoor hunting and fishing program in 2000. “Ebarb’s River City Outdoors” is about spending time in the great outdoors with friends and family. Both of Kirk’s daughters love to hunt. Kelsey loves to hunt for deer and hogs while Kristin likes to hunt for clothes and new shoes in the mall. After a traumatic Christmas shopping experience, Kirk feels safer hunting brown bears in Alaska with his bow.

  Kirk believes that all people, no matter their age or physical abilities, should be able to enjoy and appreciate the outdoors. He has organized many hunts and outdoor activities for the terminally ill and the physically challenged through his non-profit “Dream Hunt” program. Mud riding with ATVs and trucks is one of the most popular activities and always brings smiles to their faces. Mud Wild finally came together in '07 after several years of filming mud pits and buddy rides.

  Currently, Kirk is hosting Ebarb’s River City Outdoors and co-hosting Magnum Adventure TV with Clifford Neames (2008 schedule TBA). He is also appearing on the Buck Commander Video Series created by Willie Roberston along with several MLB players and special guests. At this time the ERCO/Mud Wild crew is working on several new DVDs. They are excited to announce their partnership with Scott Smith of High Lifter Products in bringing you the ultimate in ATV videos. Production of Dennis Hinson’s Team Motor Jam is in the works. The second Mud Wild Video will be released in the Spring of '08.(check out Events)
