Angling hero: My Dad got me into fishing and eventually into tournament fishing. He took me fishing often as a kid. Once I got old enough, if he couldn’t go himself, he would borrow his boat, tow-vehicle, or whatever so that I could go myself. Even when I brought his boat back with a tore-up lower unit, he would let me take it out again the next time. Thanks Dad!

When not fishing: I do things with my wife and two kids. We spend a lot of time just playing around the house and yard. We’ve taken vacations skiing and snowboarding in Northern Minnesota which were a blast for everyone!
What I enjoy about tournaments: I enjoy being out and away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I feel “connected” to Mother Earth and the ebb and flow of life. Then of course I enjoy the competition and testing my limits. This sport really teaches you a lot about yourself. I also enjoy traveling to different locations. I enjoy the friendship of my competitors. Finally, the thrill of having it all come together for a win is an awesome feeling!
