Hello thanks for checking out my Bio. I have competed in different tournaments from the local and state level up to the divisional level with Anglers Choice, FLW and B.A.S.S. I began fishing for bass as a youngster, relatively speaking, as growing up in Maryland, I primarily fished for largemouth bass and rainbow trout. My father used to take me fishing as a kid for trout and I have had a love for fishing and the outdoors ever since. Competing in bass tournaments has brought me not only many close friendships, but learning from my fellow competitors and sharing information has improved my fishing exponentially. The thrill of competition and the cerebral approach to successfully locating and catching bass is an obsession that grows by the day.

On the water, I had a down year in 2015 finishing 67th in the "Angler Of The Year" point standings of the Rayovac FLW Series Northern division. I sold my boat in 2016 and did not fish. It's time to improve on that in 2017. So I'm taking my career to the next level with my professional bass fishing website. With one click, I'm communicating with the bass fishing community through bass fishing videos, new bass fishing tackle releases, new fishing gear releases and reporting my success along the tournament trail. Catch the latest fishing news in my bass fishing blog, on my bass fishing trails page and bass fishing reports pages.

My current fan base heading into the 2017 fishing season is between 30,000 - 40,000 anglers through my website, blog and social media channels.

When sponsors want to know what I bring to the table, the numbers speak for themselves. While my competition is talking to one, I'm reaching out to a worldwide audience. Follow me on my Website, Blog, RSS Feed, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, Pinterest and Instagram. Thank you for stopping by today! I look forward to promoting your brand via radio show appearances, blog interviews, mobile marketing, word of mouth, passing out product samples, product promotions and wearing brand name clothing while out on the tournament trail. As 500 million households watch me weigh - in my bag of fish live on the internet at each FLW Series tournament and on TV with the NBC Sports Network.
