I started fishing at the age of eight. I would fly fish with my dad on the Illinois River and watch him tie flies. To this day, he makes the Majority of my fishing lures. My dad and brothers are incredible fisherman so I learned from the best!
 

While bass are my favorite, I love to fish for any species and actually make homemade sour grain for catfishing! I continue to fish with them and now fish with my husband who I think is crazier about it than I am! We’ll stay out until 4:00am sometimes if they’re biting! I fish at least 4 times during the week and almost every weekend. I am excited about building an incredible angling resume and want to make fishing my life-long career!!!

My background is really diverse and includes acting, dancing, singing, construction, business development; I've been a business owner, marketing, sales, PR, interior decorating, cake decorating, mortgage consulting and much more! Currently I live on a farm with my husband (no kids) and our four labs, three cows, twelve goats, one duck and 10-20 chickens depending on how many my dogs kill! I have a pool which I use regularly to tune my fishing lures (which my dad makes by hand). I grow my own vegetables in an organic garden, can jelly from the fruit on my trees and cook all of my dog's food. I love to play any kind of sport and am a true river rat. My husband and I floated the Buffalo River for four days for our honeymoon! I love wild and crazy adventures and will try anything once as long as it's exciting!

Besides being a professional fisherman, I am the Marketing & Community Relations Manager for the charity organization I am affiliated with (Camp Fire USA) and am a professional promotional model. I am also the lead Singer in a Dallas hard rock band.
