Non-Angling Hero:  Dad- He taught me that living life is truly a blessing, and that living life sometimes throws you curve balls.  It’s how you handle those curve balls that define you as a person.  Thanks Dad!

When Not Fishing:  I spend my time working the roads and cities of the Great State of Kansas for the Kansas Highway Patrol.  I enjoy being a State Trooper; it is one of the most rewarding jobs I can think of.  The Kansas Highway Patrol is one of the finest organizations in the Nation, and one of the best dressed.  I consider it a privilege to be a Kansas State Trooper.    

When not working as a Trooper I am busy with C.A.S.T. as an Event Director helping with events across the United States. On the road fishing regional tournaments or busy at home with the youth bass club, KHP REEL DEAL.
