ABOUT ME

I have been fishing my whole life. I fished for my high school, freshman through senior year- we made it to state finals all 4 years in a row since it started in 2008-2009. I currently am on the UW-Stevens Point Big Dawg Fishing team. I also enjoy hunting outside of fishing too.

STATEMENT

Cancer has been with and affected a lot of families including mine. My mother was diagnosed in early 2013, and since then has made a strong recovery. I have made it my goal to help support her through my love and passion of fishing. Being a part of Pink Fishing, I can achieve that goal by representing Pink Fishing at all of my tournaments and outings. Together, we will “Reel in the Cure”!
