Bio
A life-long fishing enthusiast, I began fishing tournaments in the amateur ranks in the early 1980's. In 1984, I fished my first big tournament, the US Open. Placing 20th out of 300 anglers. I won several thousand dollars, and was on my way to the Pros. I continued fishing the western circuits until 1992, when I took time off to raise a family. In 1998, I returned to fishing in local tournaments, and with several excellent finishes, I ultimately returned to the Pro tournaments in 2001. Due to an injury, I was unable to fish in the 2002 tournaments. With a fresh start for 2003, and currently fishing the WON Circuit - North and South Divisions, I am in 3rd place in the overall year to date standings after 5 of 8 tournaments and I plan on fishing the BASS Western Invitational circuit and am confident I will qualify for the BASS Pro Tour, aired weekly on ESPN.
In my spare time, I enjoy teaching children as well as adults fishing techniques, I have worked as a guide, conducted club seminars and training classes.

I also do a lot of promotional work at fishing , boat, and trade shows for my sponsors. I have sold many boats, motors, and products for them at these shows as well as aided in getting the fishing public a good look at their products. In the quest for upgrading my personal fishing career, I have compiled this resume to introduce myself and list my accomplishments in the bass fishing world. I would like for it to be known that I only have a few sponsors and that is for good reason. I have had many opportunities to be on pro-staffs and field testing teams for many products from boats and motors to tackle and I have only chosen the ones that I truly believe are the best products. I will not take a sponsorship just to put a patch on my shirt or wear a hat or put a few free baits in my boat. I must believe in the product and I am willing to work for that sponsor by using the products, promote them, and increase sales, which in any business is the bottom line.

My approach to fishing and my work ethic is intense. I do a lot of research, check the internet, read the papers, investigate the weather and the seasonal patterns of every lake I am going to fish a tournament at. With the plans of catching that one more fish that it always seems to take to get ahead of the competition, I approach the day with that expectation. I approach marketing the products I am sponsored by with the same intensity. I will go the extra mile to assure a prospective customer of the positive attributes of the product.
