I have been very fortunate to have been raised on Kentucky Lake. My dad is a commercial fisherman who had me backing boat trailers down the ramp by the time I was 12. He not only instilled in me a strong work ethic but encouraged me to enjoy the lake. He was not a bass fisherman but he did fish and to this day absolutely loves the water.   I met my husband Greg on a fishing web site, Bass Resource . Our first date was a fishing trip. We got married during a bass tournament and continue to fish many local couples tournaments together. He is the one that got me involved in the Lady Bass Anglers Association. He is so encouraging and supportive. I have two grown sons. Jason and his wife Christine live in Kansas with their son Jackson. and Justin who lives in Ky with his son Remington. We have 3 Australian Shepherds, a cat and 2 cockatiels.   I have been fishing ladies tournaments for 18 years. I have been fortunate to win several and have been Angler of the Year seven of those. In the first LBAA tournament on Lake Dardanelle, I finished 8th and brought home Top Pro Rookie 2010 against some of the greatest lady anglers of all time.    I think my proudest moment was when my terminally ill daughter, Nikki, got to fish a tournament against me. She ended up with Big Bass of the day, took second place and beat me! All of this while she 16, was undergoing treatment for kidney failure and having dialysis treatments.  I have been a nurse for 20 yrs and am Clinical Director at Angels Community Clinic, a free clinic for the working uninsured here in Murray KY. I also have the priviledge of working at the premier tackle store on KY Lake, Fisherman's Headquarters in Draffenville KY. It's the best of all things possible for me.....I love nursing and I love bass fishing.    I'd like to tell all the ladies out there...young and not so young to live your dreams. You don't have to be 20 yrs old to start professional fishing or anything else you'd like to do. If you can dream it, you can do it! So yes, I'm living life and loving it!!!
