I am a native of Arizona and have been fishing since I was 6 years old.  My Dad and Mom loved the outdoors and we fished as a family all over Arizona.  Bass fishing was more of a challenge to me, so I decided to pursue it through tournaments and club fishing.
I won my first ALLSTAR Bass tournament in 1990 and was hooked.  I joined the Phoenix Bass Masters Club in 1993.  My first sponsorship was with Steel Marine in 1997 with a Fisher Bass Boat.  I appeared on the television show “Fishing with the Good Ol’ Boys” for six years.  I also appeared on the television show “Arizona Game and Fish Wildlife Views” for five years.

Another highlight was guest staring on the radio show “KOY Radio Fishing Show” and working with physically challenged children through the program “Fishing Has No Boundaries” for two years.  Currently I have guest stared on a few episodes of “Fishing with Johnny Johnson”.

My personal goal is to share my love of fishing through training seminars and workshops to people of all ages.  A perfect day to me is spending a day of bass fishing at any lake.
