I was born in Virginia but have called Florida home since I was 6 years old. Fishing in Florida’s waters has been a lifelong passion, spanning both freshwater and saltwater. Bass fishing holds a special place in my heart, and it’s the primary species I target. Redfish comes in as a close second on my list of favorites.

Then, the world of kayak fishing caught my attention. The tournament scene was on the rise, and I found myself completely captivated. I decided to sell my boat and dedicate myself exclusively to kayak bass tournaments. Over the years, I’ve tried a few different kayak brands, but I ultimately stuck with Hobie because it provides the best all-around platform for fishing in Florida’s diverse waters.

I’ve transitioned into being a part-time kayak fishing guide, equipped with a fleet of Hobie kayaks. For me, kayak bass fishing is not just a hobby; it’s a way of life and a true passion.
