Home State: Ohio I am told that my father took me fishing when I was very young and my first memories of fishing were for catfish on Buckeye Lake. Later on, my friends and I were hitting local neighborhood ponds until I started driving. From that point to about 1998 I fished quite infrequently and had more of a passion for target shooting/hunting and being involved with 2nd Amendment activism. After moving to Dublin, OH in 1998, a neighbor asked if I would like to take our kids fishing at his friends' farm pond. That was when I started to get hooked on bass fishing. I joined Columbus Bassmasters and fished the BASS Federation for several years and now we are TBF/FLW affiliated. I added the Midwest Sportsman circuit in 2005 and qualified for the Classic in 2006. I will be fishing the B.A.I.T., Bass Anglers Invitational Trail, starting in 2007. My first sponsor was B&D Custom Lures in Brandenburg, KY where I am currently the Pro-staff Co-coordinator. You will never find me on the water without spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and flipping jigs custom made by Bill Boyer at B&D. Over the years I have been associated with some fine privately owned companies covering several fishing related items. Currently, along with B&D, I am sponsored by FishForFree.com who is a genius in how to acquire and maintain a sponsor base, Save Phace who provide Sport Utility Masks (S.U.M.) for anglers and other outdoor sports enthusiasts, Gambler Lures manufacturing some of the best plastic lures available on the market and the only Florida Rig weights I care to use, and Tamer Products who produce the most innovative lure guard (Lure Tamer) available on the market.
