Background:
I began fishing while growing up in New York with my father. We
started fishing for salmon and trout on Lake Ontario. We would use
downriggers and trolled, but I soon talked my dad into trying for
Bass. Shortly thereafter all the salmon and trout gear went to the
back of the closet, and the quest for the green trout (BASS) began.
I fished my first bass tournament in 1991 as a senior in high school
on Lake Champlain. Shortly after I graduated from college, I bought
my first bass boat, a Stratos 278. While living in New York I fished
the RedMan Trail (Now the BFL)
I moved to Minnesota in the fall 2000 and began fishing tournaments
the next spring in a bass club called the Sportsmen Bassmasters and
a tournament trail called Team Bass. I have had increased success
with each passing tournament season and I look forward to the
challenges that the new season will bring me.
