Today, I continue to enjoy fishing and hunting as a way to connect with nature and to bond with my family and friends.&nbsp;While I've fished in many different locations over the years, trolling on the open waters of Lake Ontario, Lake Cayuga, Hudson River, and Mexico Bay remains some of my most memorable and enjoyable experiences.

I am grateful to my dad for introducing me to fishing and hunting at such an early age, as it has given me a lifelong passion that I hope to pass down to future generations.
