I have been active as a Freshwater Fisherman in the Mid Atlantic area for forty years. As a lifetime member of B.A.S.S. and N.A.F.C. I have competed in and won events on several tournament circuits and spend many days each year on the water adding to and improving my first hand knowledge and skills. I am also a member of Jackson Bass Anglers Assoc. a N.J. Bass Federation club, TBF (The Bass Federation) FLW Outdoors and the American Bass Anglers. While enjoying the time spent on the water, I have collected many trophies and awards such as the In-Fisherman Master Angler Award and the Mepps / Mr. Twister Grand Slam Award with the recognition of ten different, Freshwater species, trophy class fish. In 2004, I have won awards for The Biggest Bass of the Year for both my Largemouth and Smallmouth catches.

As a former educator and proud father, I truly enjoy helping and assisting others to improve and enrich their lives. I believe that fishing is both a beneficial and rewarding pastime that helps relieve stress and develops a love of nature.
