A Lake County native, husband to Ashley, and father of six, Mike started fishing as way to decompress during grad school. What started as an occasional stress reliever soon became guided trips, treks through the woods to rediscover neglected shorelines, and an armory of rods and reels taking up space in his garage. Mike is grateful to the great anglers who nurtured his interest and made fishing accessible to him, and he is excited to return the favor for the next generation.
