Background:
My love for fishing started at the age of five. Dangling a night crawler into the shallows of some murky watered lake, pond, or riverbank shore waiting  for that thrill of the jolt radiating from the end of the line to the end of the rod and finally to my much anticipating hands. Half of the joy was from not knowing what species would appear out of those murky waters. I enjoyed catching a variety of fish including Sunfish, Bluegill, Crappie, Bass and even Bullheads. It did not matter in those days. The thrill and exhilaration was to keep bringing me back. I continued my love of fishing, tuning my skills, perfecting techniques, adapting to changing conditions, adding to tackle, and auxiliary equipment right up to the present time. I feel that I have the skills, determination, confidence, and the desire to be the best I can be. This makes me a competitive tournament angler in any event I enter. I say this with knowledge from my previous successes I have met in both individual events and team events that I have been involved in since fall of 1989. I have turned my concentration to the fastidious bass. These magnificent yet enigmatic predators, of course I am referring to the Small Mouth and Large Mouth Bass. It is here that I have disciplined my skills, and have directed my tackle and equipment procurements. It is here where I dedicated my personal pursuit to "EXCELLENCE IN BASSIN".
