I consider myself to be a dedicated advocate for fishing conservation and education. My passion for fishing started at an early age with my dad teaching my sisters and I the skills of camping and fishing.  We camped and fished during family vacations. With excitment and the presence of my parents, we caught our first angel fish and seahorse.  Our backyard camping was the best childhood memories!  Since then my love for fishing grew.

 

I served in the US Navy for 21 years. My service with the Fin Addict Angler Foundation started 6 years ago to the present as a volunteer Program Director. I have witnessed at our clinics the life lessons and skills the children learn through fishing. That's the part of what's so special about what we do. Even when a catch is not in sight there is a bright side of charished family time spent together .

 

I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to work with a group of wonderful and amazing people providing a service of promoting outdoor conservation and safety!
