From a young age, I was introduced to fishing and I now have the opportunity to pursue my dreams in the fishing industry with the goal of fishing the entire FLW circuit and winning an FLW event. Besides being an up and coming professional angler I’m a Police Officer with Bay Area Rapid Transit in California. As a Police Officer, I have the responsibilities that involves the protection of life and property, providing information and assistance to the public, enforcement of laws and ordinances, criminal investigation and crime prevention and suppression. When I’m not fishing, or working I enjoy spending time with my family and hunting. My wife, Melissa, my 5-year-old son, Vincent, and 2-year-old daughter, Raelynn all love the outdoors. I believe it’s important to challenge myself and follow my passion as I want to lead by example and teach my son and daughter to challenge them selves and follow their passion one day. Some of my fishing tournaments and accomplishments consist of:
- 2016 Ultimate Frog Challenge – Pro – 3rd Place
- 2016 Police, Fire and Corrections Badge Packer Tournament – 5th Place
- 2015 California Delta Future Pro Tournament – 13th Place
- 2016 River2Sea Open – 14th Place
- 2016 FLW California Delta – 45th Place
- Tracy Bass Turkey Shoots – Several 1st Place Wins
My passion for this sport is great and I love being challenged and adapting to multiple new situations.
