About me:  Ever since I was 15 years old visiting my family in Louisiana I salivated over my uncle Doyle’s old beat up aluminum fishing boat. “This is when I knew I was hooked.” He would take us fishing on the bayou and crawfishing practically everywhere. Since I lived near Detroit we did a lot of fishing on Lake St. Clair. I especially liked the Walleye season. I also trout fished all over the U.S. including Montana, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I finally bought my first bass boat. A short time later a friend talked me into fishing a local tournament. I jumped in with both feet and never looked back. I’ve met a lot of great people in the past few years that have helped me out tremendously. People like Steve Foutch, Rod Nelson, George Lorz and Matt Shura just to mention a few, have given me priceless tips and techniques making me a better fisherman.  I’m also a 14 year veteran of the Mesa Police Department and a single Dad with three great kids that don’t always see my passion for this sport, but support me none the less.
