About Me

Experience: I began fishing when I was two years old in a local pond with my Dad.  Since that time, I have fished on the Chesapeake Bay, Atlantic Ocean and several lakes and rivers throughout Virginia and North Carolina. When I was nine I began kayak fishing and was hooked.  In 2013, I started fishing from my Jackson SUPerFISHal, a stand up paddle board designed for fishing, and the experience has been awesome.  I have earned multiple fishing awards in Virginia and North Carolina and have won multiple Junior Angler awards and tournaments.  I am a member of the Jackson Kayak Fishing Team, Werner Paddles, Kokatat, PowerTeam Lures, Orion Coolers, Ardent Reels and Ram Mount Pro Staffs.  I am an active member of the Tidewater Kayak Anglers Association (TKAA) and volunteer with “Heroes on the Water,” an organization that takes wounded warriors and their families kayak fishing. I regularly present kayak fishing seminars at our Local Bass Pro Shop and Appomattox River Company Kayak and Canoe Shop.
