Growing up in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago, access to top notch bass fishing lakes was limited. As soon as I was able, I moved to Texas to further pursue my talent for competitive fishing. 

Quickly establishing success as an amateur in the Bassmaster circuits, I stepped up to the Professional side in 2004 and had a top ten finish in my third event.

Throughout my lifetime and my 6 years of competitive bass fishing, I have had the opportunity to focus on the psychology of establishing peak performance.  I owe many of my successes to understanding how an individual performs mentally while accomplishing success.
