I just can't get enough of being outdoors and the experiences that come with it. No two days are ever the same when it comes to fishing and hunting. Constant learning of techniques, behavior/weather patterns, and all the surprises that go against everything we "know" makes it all fascinating to me. There are so many fun ways to experience the outdoors locally that I refuse to box myself in to just tournament bass fishing. Although expect a lot of that as it has been a focus of mine for 20+ years now. 

Most of my current tournament activities are in west Michigan but I have fished all around the state and several top fisheries down south. We are lucky to have a highly competitive local bass scene around here and tournaments draw big numbers. 

Aside from fishing I reside in Norton Shores with my wife and 3 wonderful daughters. We love living in a place so close to the Great Lakes and with so much to do. The girls are getting older and holding their own so you’ll see them often in adventures featured on the news tab. We came here from South East Michigan due to my career as a fisheries biologist. I primarily study the status of the lower food web in Lake Michigan and am fortunate to have an office right on the beach. 

I've been involved in the fishing industry for what seems like forever now and have been involved in many successful partnerships. I've worked many outdoor shows, appeared on podcasts, given seminars, and been heavily involved with outdoor writing. I’ve written for Michigan Out-of-Doors, The Fishsens Magazine, Midwest Outdoors, and Woods and Water News. I’m always looking for new opportunities to expand my outdoor writing.

Here you'll find a lot of adventures if you follow along with the news section, fishing reports, or the tournament archive (there’s lots of good info on my social media pages too). You really never know where things will go. This all started with a sole focus on tournament bass fishing and you’ll find a bunch of bass tournament experiences. But things have evolved and expect multispecies fishing, ice fishing, tips and tricks, product spotlights, hunting, wild game cooking, trips with my kids, and who knows what else might pop up.
