Who Am I Living in Benton Louisiana, just north of the Shreveport/Bossier area, home to the Red River. I was born September 29, 1968 and have been married for 20 years to my lovely wife Laurie, who is just as passionate as I am about bass fishing. We have 3 daughters that we have enjoyed raising, however they have ventured out on their own in life. I am fortunate and fish 4-5 days a week 12 months a year and will fish 30-35 tournaments a year. My hobbies include efforts to preserve our great sport and it's environment. I am a member of the Twin Cities Team Club, American Bass Anglers, B.A.S.S., Media Bass and Bass Life Associates of NW Louisiana. Bass fishing has been a way of life for me since I was old enough to hold a fishing rod. My father was a very accomplished bass fisherman and I was fortunate to follow in his footsteps and learn from him. By the time I was old enough to drive I was fishing at circuit level. After a break in fishing, due to my military career, and with the help of my wife we started Ultimate Bass, a team tournament trail. Managing 2 divisions that fished once a month. Ultimate Bass eventually grew into an international bass fishing website.

Who Am I Living in Benton Louisiana, north of the Shreveport/Bossier city, home to the Red River. I was born September 29, 1968 and have been married for 21 years to my lovely wife Laurie, who is just as passionate as I am about bass fishing. We have 3 daughters that we have enjoyed raising, however they have ventured out on their own in life. I am fortunate and fish 4-5 days a week 12 months a year and will fish 30-35 tournaments a year. My hobbies include efforts to preserve our great sport and it's environment. I am a member of the Twin Cities Team Club, American Bass Anglers, B.A.S.S., Media Bass and Bass Life Associates of NW Louisiana. Bass fishing has been a way of life for me since I was old enough to hold a fishing rod. My father was a very accomplished bass fisherman and I was fortunate to follow in his footsteps and learn from him. By the time I was old enough to drive I was fishing at circuit level. After a break in fishing, due to my military career, and with the help of my wife we started Ultimate Bass, a team tournament trail. Managing 2 divisions that fished once a month. Ultimate Bass eventually grew into an international bass fishing website.
