I have been fishing most all my life, tournament fishing for 10 years. I have been married to my wonderful husband for almost 32years and am currently living in Northern California in a small town called Janesville. I joined the Pink Fishing Team to help raise awareness and to support the cause of cancer. I have lost several friends and family to cancer, so I am fishing for their memory and in hopes that a cure is found. Thank you for letting me be part of this AMAZING Team. God Bless for all you do!
