Having been introduced to the addiction at the age of 3 by my pops, I have been an avid angler most of my life. Growing up all over Southern Cali, I have spent a great deal of time learning new waters and constantly seeking growth. I am a proud father of four awesome kiddos and have been married to my beautiful wife for over 12 years now. I purchased my first Jackson Kayak Big Tuna shortly after moving to MD several years ago and was instantly hooked on the family atmosphere that is our community. As an Army veteran with almost 10 years on Active Duty prior to being medically separated, kayak fishing has provided me with a way to get away from it all and enjoy the serenity and peace of mind that only Mother Nature can provide. I now work with the MD chapter of Heroes on the Water and the Reel American Heroes Foundation in VA to help other vets and first responders find that same peace of mind through therapeutic time on the water. I currently live in MD and enjoy fishing the entire Mid-Atlantic region. I compete in the Mid-Atlantic Kayak Bass Fishing Series tournament trail and dig traveling to do battle with my friends and kayak fishing family around the nation. I love introducing others to the sport and sharing my knowledge and passion with people of all ages. I feel truly blessed to be a part of the most insane team on the planet and look forward to whatever adventures it may bring. Tight Lines and Sharp Minds, Joshua “Mek” Evans
