His goal and passion are to entertain people while teaching them new tricks and techniques to catch fish, using top-notch equipment. He takes pride in fishing for the opportunity and conditions.
He was born and raised on the banks of Lake Taneycomo, growing up and riding his bicycle to the water’s edge after school, where he would see how many trout he could catch before dinner. In high school and college, he worked as a dock hand at the State Park Marina on Table Rock Lake. His passion for being on the water runs deep. He has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the College of Ozarks, better known as “Hard Work U,” as well as a Master of Science degree in Environmental Management from Webster University. While in college, his summers consisted of several road trips with college buddies, fly fishing the rivers and streams of Colorado and Montana, and bass fishing and catfishing the lakes in between.
