Born in Unicoi, located in East TN, I grew up fishing creeks and rivers as a kid. My dad instilled a love for the outdoors at a very early age. In fact, he and I have fished team tournaments since I was 13. We are still tournament buddies and have been fortunate to win a lot along the way.
Learning to catch the mixed variety of bass (Largemouth, Smallmouth and Spots) on our area lakes has enabled me to be successful on local and regional tournament trails.
My wife and I have been married for 17 years and have a 13 year old son and 10 year old daughter. Sports and school activities keep us on the go and I love it!
3B Outdoors presents an opportunity to hang out with a great bunch of guys. Catching a big one on a Pop R while the camera is rolling keeps me coming back for more. Top water is my love, but, flipping and shallow water are my passion. I truly like to hunt, but, tournament bass fishing runs in my genes.
Tournament bass fishing success is very difficult with top notch competition at all levels. Some of my accomplishments listed are below.
* 2-Time Best of Best Champion * 2nd Place Bassmaster BP Top 150 Lake Norman (co-angler) * 4 BFL Wins * 26 BFL/FLW Top 10 finishes * 2-Time Yamaha Be-The-Best Points Champion (BFL) * 13-time BFL Regional Qualifier * Qualified for Red Man All-American in Lacrosse, Wisconsin * Numerous BAIT and Bill Gatton Team Trail wins * Largest Bass - 8 lbs. 10 oz.
