A little about myself, I grew up in Minnesota and basically spent any free time in the outdoors hunting and fishing. I have been married to Jessica for 20 yrs and have 2 boys Mitch 15 and Mack 11, we live 20 miles south of Minneapolis in a suburb called Lakeville. I do anything I can to introduce my sons to the joys of the outdoors.

I would like to thank my family for their support without them this would not be possible.

I work for Trane Company out of St Paul, MN. as a service fitter on industrial and commercial HVAC systems. I have been in this trade for 25 years.

I have always dreamed of being a tournament walleye angler, watching the PWT and FLW videos in my fishing center.

3 years ago I decided to give it a try in the FLW Walleye  League Minnesota Division. I signed up as a co angler for the the first 2 events as a co angler and the last one as a boater in 2007. For 2008 I went in as a boater for all 3 events and had a ok season, my finishes slowly climbed up the standings. For 2009 again I signed up as a boater in the FLW League, I finished the season with a 26th in the standings, I made the big show. I ended winning the FLW League championship!! What a thrill it did not seem real at the time.

For 2010 I plan on stepping into the big leagues, more than likely AIM, Anglers Inside Marketing event and the FLW League's agian.
