Growing up in the picturesque city of San Diego, California, my passion for fishing was nurtured by the diverse range of freshwater and saltwater environments that surrounded me. My journey into the world of kayak fishing had a remarkable start, marked by a significant win at the Salty Crew Rocks and Docks Fishing Tournament. This victory caught the eye of Ron Lane from Fastlane Sailing and Kayaking Center, who recognized my potential and encouraged me to submit my resume when I turned 15.

Whether it’s exploring my home waters in La Jolla and the bays or discovering lakes in the Midwest, I take immense satisfaction in inspiring people to embrace the enriching experience of kayaking.
