From a very young age, TJ was drawn to fishing. Whether he was obsessing over BassMaster television programs, soaking in the articles and images in BassMaster or Fisherman magazines, or enjoying time on the water with his Grandpa Tom - who first taught him how to fish, TJ could not get enough of the sport and spent as much time as possible learning how to become the best angler he could be.
TJ began competing in 2019 at the WON Bass US Open at Lake Mead where he finished 30th out of 250. From there, he competed in the WILD WEST Pro/AMs, Major League Fishing Toyota Series Pro/AM, and the WILD WEST Year End Championships.
Continuing to pursue his passion for catching giant bass, and competing, TJ desires to help others learn and love bass fishing as much as he does. Along with gear reviews, marketing and product development for an array of companies in the industry, TJ is now offering full and half day guided fishing trips, specializing in Lower/Upper Castaic Lake and Pyramid Lake just 30 minutes from Los Angeles.
