About Me

I am a San Diego native, who made the move to the South for two reasons: lower cost of living and tournament bass fishing! I would love to become a professional tournament bass angler. I am a Bassoholic, and can't stand to be off the water for more than a few days at a time. Mention the word fishing and I'll be there. Since moving to Florence, I've discovered I love wadding the creeks for smallmouth bass. Seeing a smallie come up and crush a top-water bait, Oh, what a rush!!! I am a sports fanatic. I also love baseball, football, and hockey.

My Interests

Fishing, Baseball (Padres), NFL (Chargers) and College Football, Hockey (Nashville Predators), Fishing, Video Games, Movies, Foreign Languages (Spanish and Italian especially), and did I mention Fishing?

I'd like to meet:

I'm always looking for fishing partners. Feel free to drop me a line if you're in the Middle TN or North AL area. Any BASS or FLW tour pros, especially Kevin VanDam, Mike Iaconelli, Gerald Swindle, or Denny Brauer.

Music:

Rock, Country, Latin, nearly everything but Rap.

Movies:

Some of my favorites would be "Field of Dreams, Gladiator, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption," and most any comedy.

Television:

ESPN: Sportscenter, Baseball Tonight; Dirty Jobs; South Park; CSI; Heroes; and most fishing shows.

Books:

Anything by John Grisham, Michael Crichton, Tony Hillerman

Heroes:

Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens, Kevin VanDam.
