I am a lifelong resident of Missouri and have fished since my late teens. I started out bank fishing for catfish and gradually migrated to bass and crappie fishing. I bought my first boat in 1999 and after a few trips out, I decided there wasn’t enough room for bass tackle and crappie tackle both. It was then that I decided I wanted to focus on crappie. From that point on, I have had either my wife or kids or all of them in the boat learning to crappie fish. I’ve progressed over the years and am now in my third boat and this one is my favorite. My wife, Sandra, and I have 4 kids. Kyla, Taylor, Clayton and Jalynn; all of which are pretty good at catching crappie, as they pretty much grew up in a boat! I also have 4 grandchildren of which I’ve started to take fishing so I can get them hooked as well. I look forward to helping guide my clients and share my experience and knowledge so they have, not only a great day in the water, but take something away that will help them be successful at crappie fishing as well!
