ABOUT
ME
Passion for Fisheries
We are borrowing Earth's resources from future generations and it is our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape than when we got here. Through education and outreach, we can inspire the minds of younger generations to achieve a better, more sustainable future.
Hobbies & Activities
My one true passion in life has always been fishing. I fell in love with shallow water flats fishing for speckled trout, redfish, snook and tarpon in Florida. My first tarpon I ever caught was a life changing experience and I am always on the hunt for large, powerful fish on light tackle. Aside from fishing, my hobbies include photography, hiking, traveling, and playing and watching sports. I am a true outdoorsman and spend as much time as possible in nature.
