I began fishing from a kayak in 2007, when I bought a Pelican Getaway 140. No bells, no whistles; just two flush mount rod holders and one swivel rod holder. I upgraded to a Jackson Kayak Big Rig in 2016, and in 2018 added a Jackson Kayak Coosa FD to the fleet.
I am the founder of Massachusetts Kayak Bassin' (MAKB), the biggest kayak bass fishing tournament series in the state. I also run the MAKB Knockout Series, which is a bracketed, one-on-one, March Madness-like tournament series, where you fish until you’re knocked out of the competition.
Beyond that, I am a husband, father, Air ...Force veteran, obsessive music fan, writer, publisher, editor, and dozens of other things. My list of passions is as diverse as it is long.
