I am a proud father first and foremost to a definite “daddy’s boy”. I’m very competitive and enjoy the competitiveness of each and every tournament. I have a loving family and an outstanding support system. I studied Aquaculture and Marine Biology in school and some college, which has come in to good use during those tough times on the water. I was a Police Officer for 12 years along with a small stint overseas providing armed security services for various situations. I ultimately medically retired after sustaining an injury in the line of duty.
