From humble beginnings as a schoolboy trapper, Tom Miranda has taken his love of the outdoors and turned it into the career of a lifetime. Running trap lines near his hometown of suburban Columbus, Ohio, Tom learned the ways of the wild. Catching muskrats, mink and raccoon, Tom learned to love nature in these early years, to respect and cherish it.

After high school, when many graduates went off to college, Tom was off to the wilds of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to build his own log cabin and launch his professional trapping career. Questioning parents and confused friends maybe didn’t understand, but Miranda knew that his life pursuit was found along the streams and in the wild places.

Rambling around the snowy northern woods, Tom learned to catch fox and coyote, beaver and otter, bobcats and bears—furthering his wilderness education.

Several years later, Tom found himself in South Dakota, working as a government trapper and hunter, mastering the art of trapping and honing his skills. These bold steps have since led to authoring 5 books, over 60 how-to trapping and hunting videos, and eventually the chance to host his own adventure show.

In 1992, Tom became the adventurous Saturday morning bow hunter on ESPN. The “Outdoor Adventure Magazine” TV series took Tom around the globe on exciting expeditions, and his viewers followed. Hunting whitetails one week, ducks the next, Tom brought his own twist of adventure to each show by adding some adrenaline excitement. Bungee jumping, skydiving, top gun school…if it was exciting and dangerous…Tom Miranda was doing it.

Outdoor Adventure Magazine was a hit and ran for 7 seasons on ESPN as one of the most watched outdoor series on the network. In his 8th year Tom changed the show’s title to “Advantage Adventures” and began to do Adventure bow hunts around the globe.

Now with 17 years on ESPN, Tom Miranda is a recognized outdoor celebrity. He currently produces 3 separate shows on ESPN and continues to travel the world to promote hunting ethics and adventure.
