Seth Dortch

Social Ambassador

Seth Dortch is a trusted figure and influence in the outdoor and shooting space. His career reputation in marketing, branding, and product development and his impact through hunting and conservation comes from the love and passion he has to be an active participant in his work, and operate at the highest standard.

Born and raised in Northwest Tennessee, he began waterfowl hunting the Mississippi Flyway with his dad. Dominating the skies with Benelli has been a part of him for his entire life. The value he found in the Benelli brand and our product began with his dad buying a Super Black Eagle 1 in 1996 - Seth was 1 year old. He chooses the best with Benelli because he has seen Benelli perform time and time again throughout his development as a hunter. He spends most of his time hunting with his family and the Final Flight Outfitters hunt club in Northwest Tennessee, in addition to traveling to many different places and regions.

His favorite Benelli platform is the Super Black Eagle 3. If you asked him to describe it in one word, he would say "workhorse".
