About Me: I am currently on active duty in the Navy and stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. I enjoy light tackle, artificial and fly fishing from the kayak. I am a founding member and former President of the Tidewater Kayak Anglers Association (www.tkaa.org). I am the owner of www.KayakBassFishing.com and work really hard to make it an great resource for kayak anglers that enjoy chasing bass. I am a regional contributor for the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas for KAYAK ANGLER Magazine. I participate in many demo days, events and conduct seminars and kayak fishing clinics throughout the southeast and Mid-Atlantic so that I can share my experience and learn something new. I guide custom trips for kayak bass fishing in Virginia, North and South Carolina.
