BIOGRAPHY

I have been fishing most of my life. My dad and grandpa took me fishing quite a bit when I was growing up. We mostly pan fished small lakes from a 14’ aluminum boat or fished from the bank. My grandpa loved the river and we would go fish for catfish several times a year. We also went to Michigan every fall and snagged for Salmon as they made their run up the rivers. When I got older, I would wade fish small creeks near my house for smallmouth and Kentucky spotted bass.
As I grew up, life responsibilities of working to support a family trumped my fishing time. However, my kids are ra...ised now and my wife and I enjoy camping in our little travel trailer as often as we can. We camp almost every weekend from March until November. During one of our camping trips in the fall of 2016, I rented a small 10’ sit inside kayak and caught a 9” bluegill. The bluegill pulled me around and was such a blast catching from the kayak. Shortly after, I purchase my own kayak and started fishing form it as much as I could. I’ve upgraded my kayak a couple times and now fish from a 2019 Hobie Pro Angler 14. I started fishing competitive kayak tournaments in the spring of 2017 and have been addicted ever since!
