–I fell in love with fishing as a kid when my Grandpa took me ice fishing.  I stumbled back into it at the beginning of Covid which led to me building cedar plugs and then to painting blanks and creating gifts for those who share this Passion.  

Currently with state of the Striper industry (my favorite to chase) my priority is supporting Plug Builders by tying teaser flags and hooks for their lures.  I was very fortunate to be taught by one of the best in the industry.  Lures are still available in limited drops, custom orders, and collabs.

This journey has been an amazing adventure with so many incredible people along the way.   There’s plenty of times when I’ve felt like I’m standing at the bottom of a mountain completely lost, when  professional climbers show up, and kindly take me under their wing.

Never know what is around the corner or how it will all evolve.  Oftentimes it’s difficult to pick a lane.

It’s not all smooth sailing, that’s for sure.  Major injuries have thrown a wrench into things and post TBI symptoms continue to plague me.  However, I am so very grateful for both the opportunities and the challenges.  

The biggest takeaways I’ve had along this journey is to take the time to enjoy the beautiful moments, those turn into memories.  Take lots of Sunset pics.  And your quality of life has a lot to do with how you frame it.  When life says sink or swim, I hope you Fly!!
