A Pennsylvania native, I spent my childhood growing up hunting and fishing in NW PA. After high school and a short college stint I decided to join the United States Air Force which turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made in my life. I married Diana at the age of 26 and now have two children; Rachael & Colin. During my 21 year tenure in the USAF I was staioned near some of the best bass fishing lakes in the country; Amistad, Falcon, Rayburn, Toledo Bend in Texas and Clear Lake and the California Delta in Northern California. I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to fish these lakes. Since my military retirement I have relocated back to NW PA and have been pleasantly suprised to find the trophy smallmouth bass fishing near my home.
