In 2009 he along with Justinn Jones and Brent Hoffman founded Landitude Outfitters LLC, which is going to be a hunting supply store serving Kingsville and the surrounding areas. Landitude Outfitters is still seeking startup funds but will eventually fill an important niche in South Texas.

Anna Redeker was born and raised in Lewisville Texas. She graduated from Lewisville high school in 1991 and then moved to College Station, Texas where she attended Texas A&M University. In 1996 she earned her B.S. in Wildlife Ecology and Management and then went on to work as a professional Veterinary Technician with Wellborn Road Veterinary Hospital. She moved down to South Texas with Eric in 1998 when he took his position with CKWRI. Sortly after arriving in South Texas she took a full-time Veterinary Technician position with the Kingsville Animal Medical Clinic, where she currently works. In addition to veterinary work, Anna is also actively involved in wildlife rehabilitation and animal rescue. Since arriving in South Texas, she has rescued over 200 dogs and cats from certain death and placed them in loving homes. Currently she and Eric have refocused their animal rescue efforts on American Pitbull Terriers due to the loving nature of these animals and the fact that so many shelters refuse to help these abused animals.

Eric and Anna got married in 1993 after meeting in an Ecology class up at Texas A&M University.
