It all started when I was young. I grew up in a small town in West Virginia and caught he first bass when I was 5 years old fishing with my grandmother on a family pond, It was that moment when I realized how much I loved fishing and the excitement it brought to me. I continued fishing for the next 14 years in the north east from fishing trout in the mountains to trips to Lake Erie with my grandfather hunting for those big smallies.

            
    I moved to Florida in 2002 to attend college (and FISH!!!).I currently reside in Altamonte Springs Florida where I maintain a full time job as a sales manager at Alexander Morgan Tile & Stone Gallery in Winter Park Florida (thanks for the time off John!). As much as I enjoys working with my clients I still have the passion and drive to make fishing my  full time job one day .
