About
I have been fishing for as long as I can remember. Having had the luck to be raised in a military family, this has allowed me to fish all over the world. I began tournament fishing in 2007 and although I don’t get to do it often enough, I still love the rush of the launch. I am proud to represent Pink Fishing, 1st Lite Rods, Cross Roads, and Blessed by Grace Productions.
I have been part of Pink Fishing since 2012. That’s the same year that I really needed a group like Pink fishing!
Sponsors
1St Lite Productions, Blessed By Grace and David Zimmerman Photography
Tours I Fish
Local ALS fundraiser, Penn Warner 2 day and hopefully a few Saltwater tournaments
Highlights
Bassmaster Weekend Series Regional championships 9 times, qualified for Nationals twice, several top 10 finishes and big fish awards in local tournaments. Worked with Bass Masters as a photographer for local Elite series tournaments.
Statement
Well, it all started in 2012 when my wife Kelley was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast cancer and told to get her affairs in order that there was no way to help her. I found Pink Fishing while fishing the Bass Master Weekend Series on the Potomac River thanks to Mike Kaminskas! I was giving up fishing to spend time with Kelley and help her fight. Thanks to Mike and the team I was able to continue fishing for a few more seasons. It’s now been 12 years and Kelley is STILL here! 36 different chemotherapy drugs, lots of surgeries, lots of very low times but also lots for great times. (Most of those are thanks to our PINK FAMILY.) Can’t imagine what it would be like without each and every one of you!!
