Angler Profile
A lifelong resident of Higginsville, Missouri.
A small town in West Central Missouri. I grew
up learning to fish on the many farm ponds
around the area. After attending Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg, Missouri
I returned to the family Farm Equipment dealership.
As a kid I always enjoyed fishing. I would ride my bike to local lakes to fish. I would bring
home a 5 gallon bucket of Crappie and Blue Gills for my Dad to clean after he got off work.
He always took the time to help me. We spent many of the summer days in our jon boat
fishing the numerous farm ponds and watershed impoundments around Higginsville. This is
were I learned my love for bass fishing. Always trying to do something different to catch fish
when times were tough I have known to throwout into the middle of the lake to come back
with the biggest fish of the day. I appreciate my Dad for taking the time to teaching me
everything he knew about fishing.
I always had an appreciation for fishing but it was not till I got out of college that my brother
got me involved in fishing reservoirs. I fished my first bass tournament in 1993 and have
been hooked ever since. I can remember those ice cold days on the water under dressed.
But we kept chunkin' and winding. We did very well for just a couple of rookies. I appreciate
his help in getting me started. Thanks Greg! I fished those bass club tournaments for a
couple of years then I have progressed through the buddies circuits and know I am  
competing in B.A.S.S. and  FLW  Events.
In 2005, I started fishing the FLW Outdoors Everstart Series and in the fall fishing the
B.A.S.S. Central Opens.I have qualified to fish the BASS Tour, made the FLW Stren Series
Championship and My first FLW Stren Series Championship Top 10. I appreciate everyone
who has helped me along the way. Taking the time to teaching me the ins and outs of bass
fishing. To you, I owe lots of credit to my success.
