I was born and raised in Knoxville, TN. Married to a beautiful woman that likes to fish as much as me. We have 3 children together. I've been fishing pretty much my whole life. I still remember my old friend next door, Mr. J.P Adam's, taking me out on his boat when I was 7yrs old. Ever since then I've been hooked. Whether it's a pond, lake, ocean or mountain streams. If there's water, I'll probably have a rod in my hand. Living in East Tennessee, I'm blessed with an abundance of different lakes and rivers to choose from. Bought my 1st sit-in kayak 3yrs ago to be able to get out on the water. After fishing my 1st kayak tournament out of that. I knew upgrading was in the near future. The next week I bought a Jackson Coosa FD and have never looked back. Upgraded this yr to a Jackson Knarr with the help of my sponsor Riversports Outfitters. You can normally find me way back in a creek chasing green heads or a river chasing brownies. Love that a kayak can take me places that boats can't go. The kayak fishing community is like no other I've been apart of, full of great folks willing to help. Greatful and honored for this chance to be representing Jackson Kayaks and look forward to the future.
