Earning respect in the industry after completing his military service, Mr. Helm initially became a rescuer for an animal orphanage in Colorado, which housed displaced juvenile animals. Years later, in 2017, he met “Ray the Trapper,” a well-known animal trapper in his own right. Ray the trapper had requested assistance with a 9-foot alligator causing concerns at a well-known hotel in Naples, Florida. After Trapper Helm assisted with this alligator the two became very good friends and it was with Ray the Trapper’s help, Trapper Helm opened his doors soon after.
