Raised in Tunnel Hill, GA. Started paddling canoes and kayaks on our wonderful local whitewater streams in high school, while also going crappie fishing with my Papaw on weekends, and hitting the local ponds for bass. At age 34, I decided to combine my loves for paddling and fishing and so the addiction began...now I regularly compete in kayak tournaments, and represent several great companies including The Dugout Bait and Tackle, Hobie, Aftco, SPRO/Gamakatsu, Nichols Lures, and Jasper Jeep.
