John Godwin 

John Godwin grew up hunting deer with his father, but once introduced to the world of waterfowl, duck calls captured his attention. He placed 3rd as a teenager in his first calling contest after Phil Robertson “tuned up” his call to make it ready for competition (Phil happened to be one of the judges).

John has worked for Duck Commander since 2002. Some of his duties include, building duck calls, managing supplies and overseeing the shipping department. During the season, however, John’s main title is decoy technician. He figures out the exact spot the decoys should be placed, and works on all equipment after the hunt to make sure it is ready to go for the next days hunt.

John says, “Working for Duck Commander has been a blessing. I am one of few full time employees outside the family. I will definitely say that the Robertson’s are very giving and passionate people, and I have become family through Christ.” John can be seen on Duckmen 7-14 as well as The Art of Commanding Ducks and Best of the Duckmen.
