I grew up in small town southeast Missouri loving sports and the outdoors, so my love for fishing started at a young age. Growing up I primarily fished farm ponds and occasionally the river, but over the past few years; and moving to southwest Missouri, I quickly became acquainted with kayak fishing and instantly fell in love. I still reside in southwest Missouri with my amazing wife and spend every moment on the water we can. In 2022 I jumped into tournament fishing with the MOYAK Fishing Tournament series and quickly became addicted. During my first year; in 2022, with the support from my wife, family, and friends I was able to secure the MOYAK Rookie of the Year, an award that I am very thankful to of earned from such a prestigious and competitive club. After the 2022 season, I was selected to be on the MOYAK fishing team, which was also a great honor. In 2023 I will be fishing from a Jackson Knarr; the nicest kayak I have ever had the opportunity to fish out of and will be picking up a river kayak to chase after those Ozark smallmouth bass. I have experience in two other Jackson models; the Bite and the Bite FD, so it will be a tough choice on what I want as a creek boat! At the beginning of 2023, I started up a Youtube channel to showcase my fishing adventures and am looking forward to sharing my fishing trips for years to come on TM_Outdoorz. Being able to fish from a kayak with limited expenses and get to places big boats can't go is very special to me. I love the simplicity of a kayak but also having the opportunity of so many customizations as well! I would call myself a tackle junky; the wife would probably say hoarder, but you can never be too prepared! I am a power fisherman at heart; always chasing a buzzbait or chatterbait bite, but I also dabble in big glides quite a bit. A big thanks to the folks at Jackson for making amazing products, and also for this awesome opportunity, believing in me to help promote the sport of kayaking and fishing. Feel free to contact me on Facebook, Instagram or check out my Youtube for any questions about tournaments, bass fishing or Jackson Kayaks! I love to talk fishing! Tight lines!
