From the time I could first hold a rod, fishing has been a space where I can relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. At the age of five, I first dipped my toes into the world of angling, taught by my father at the Brookline Reservoir Park. Little did I know then that this seemingly simple pastime would become a huge and important aspect of my life and a focus for positive change. With each cast, I discovered more than just fish; I experienced essential life lessons in patience, resilience, and environmental stewardship. As the years have passed, my love for fishing and the environment has only deepened, evolving from a hobby into a passion. I've fished everywhere from small New Hampshire streams to the Northeast Canyons, from the Madison River in Montana to the Costa Rican coast. Whether it's catching a five inch brook trout or a bluefin tuna, I enjoy the adventure fishing brings. It was this passion that led me to co-found Fishing for Change alongside my close buddy and fellow angler, Luke Campanella. Together, we hope to empower kids through the transformative power of fishing and the great outdoors. Our vision is to provide every child, regardless of their background, with the opportunity to experience the joy and enlightenment that fishing can offer. Through Fishing for Change, I am honored to be a part of something greater than myself, spreading the ripple effect of fishing one person at a time.
