I have been fishing with my father since I was very young. My father taught me more than technique, he taught me passion and ethics. I have always fished local tournaments. It was not until my father passed away that I made the decision to fish on a higher level. After his passing, I went out to fish in his honor and to prove to him that he had taught me right. The first year, I won the overall division championship for the Midwest Sportsman Series, claimed Angler of the Year and finished 14th in the National Classic. The National Classic was held on Kentucky Lake and I had never fished this water. I believe in God, family, honesty and giving to others. I want to honor my father in not only being the best angler on the water, but by sharing what I have learned to others. I have given my life to God, family and fishing and I thankful that I can take all three to the water with me.

Tournament Tip: As a tournament angler, I have learned many things that I give credit to my success. If I had to give just one tip, it would be: Never give up. Remember, many tournament outcomes have been determined by one cast. Make every cast count, even the very last one.
