I am a husband, father of 3 girls, and a retired Army veteran who settled in Virginia. Fishing was my first love and I love chasing bass!

Now I remember why we left Maine and New York for the south!

Ken Pfeiffer what an awesome club and way to promote youth fishing. I will definitely go check out Brickyard Landing in the next few weeks. Great striper fishing over that way near the dam. Gotta find that 40’ hole with a spoon, and game on!

What an amazing video. Happy Birthday BLAT!

I heard rumors, but wasn’t sure if it was going to happen. This will definitely shrink the field.

Ken, we have to meet up one of these times. I am joining Bass Bandits of Virginia 2025. Has your schedule posted yet?

When I was a child, I stayed annually at a Campground on Lake Russel. I will say, we ate our share of Crappie out of there! I miss those early mornings of glass, when I could drag my dad out fishing.

Side note: I swear the largest loggerhead I have ever seen was in that lake.

Why should you sponsor me for the BFL? After serving 23 years in the Army, I retired in 2019 and often struggled to fill that void. When I’m on the water fishing, all that disappears. It’s like a switch flips—suddenly, everything feels normal again, and all the noise fades away. Bass fishing has become not only my passion but also a means of personal healing and growth. The focus, patience, and discipline it requires mirrors the values I honed during my military service. With a commitment to hard work, continuous improvement, and representing my sponsors with integrity, I’m dedicated to excelling both as an angler or a co-angler in the BFL if chosen. Partnering with Brian Latimer’s Straight Up Fishing School would be a perfect fit, as I share the same determination, resilience, and love for the sport. My drive to succeed on the water would help bring visibility to your brand, creating a meaningful, long-term relationship both on and off the water.

Tim Dodson, we may be down that way, Garner area, the weekend after Christmas. If I can sneak a couple poles in the car, I may hit you up if your around? Got anything planned? Happy Holidays
