One of the high caliber young guns on the professional bass fishing circuits, Tim has a number of prestigious big money tournament victories and finishes under his belt. Competing in the Pro division for the B.A.S.S. Northern Opens, Bass Challenge Tour, BFL, and other regional events. Tim has chased Largemouth, Smallmouth and Spotted Bass across the country since starting tournament competition at the young age of 18.

Leaving his job as an Advertising Manager for a reputable fishing publication to pursue his goal as a full-time bass fishing pro at the young age of twenty-four, proved to be a wise decision. Competing in his first year in the B.A.S.S. Northern Opens this young angler finished the season in 35th place in points out of 200 Pro's, with the highlight being an 18th place finish at the Hudson River, a place where he has cashed many checks in regional events.

Averaging 120-150 days a year on the water, Tim is an experienced and versatile angler. Although he is competitive on all bodies of water, he does favor tidal waters, such as the Potomac River, Hudson River, and Connecticut River. His understanding of tides, current, wind and moon effects were developed in his youth ages while pursuing various saltwater species.

During the winter months you can find Tim at several outdoors shows across the East Coast giving seminars and helping out at the sponsor's booths (when he is not sneaking down South for some bassin').
