I am 48 years old and have been married to my wife Leslie for 20 years. We have 2 teenagers -  a daughter Cambrie, who is 19 years old and a son Caden, who is 17. We are a close family that love being outdoors -  fishing, hunting and playing other sports.

Caden is active in high school bass fishing, which keeps me active also as I’ve been able to coach him and his partner, which resulted in them fishing in  nationals last year in  LaCrosse WI.

I have worked with Bass Pro Shops and Tracker Boats during sport shows in Columbia and Springfield, MO.  I’ve also done promotional work for Lowrance at these and other sport shows as well.  When not fishing, I work as a boat and car salesman at my family’s business: Hwy 42 Boats and More in Kaiser, MO.

I attended Camdenton High School in Camdenton, MO. and graduated in 1991.  I started fishing local tournaments with my father in 1992 and really got the bug in 1996.  I started fishing larger “buddy style” tournaments before branching out in to FLW, BASS, and other larger tournaments.  I’ve been partnered with Nitro Boats since 2007 and Mercury Marine since 2004.  Without their support I wouldn’t be able to fish at my current level.
