In his own words
My goal is to qualify for the year-end championship in whatever I fish. I like to know that I am able to be out there and compete with everyone. I am a fun-loving, good person out here to compete and have a good time with the people I fish with. I love the camaraderie and being around all the people I love. This is our family away from home. That is one of things that I love about the Rancheria team. It really unifies us as anglers. It makes everyone feel good, even when someone isn’t doing as good, the rest of the team gives that guy a little pick me up. That’s the camaraderie of fishing that I love.
