1992 - The year my daughter Ashley was born.
WHAT IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING YOU’VE EVER BOUGHT?
A boat that wasn't a LUND!
WHAT’S THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE EVER RECEIVED?
I was doing a seminar a few years back and after I was done I had a customer ask me to help pick out a rod and reel combo. During conversation it became apparent he did not have a lot of money. The advice given to me a few years earlier came to mind "The best product or boat is one you can AFFORD!" Thanks for making entry level boats, all the way to the best on the market.
WHAT TRAIT DO YOU ADMIRE IN PEOPLE?
Self-confidence. We live in a tough world today, and to ensure success people must be confident in their decisions.
WHAT’S YOUR WORST HABIT?
Checking the boat every day to make sure it's ready to go at a minute's notice. Drives the wife crazy!
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE MODEL OF LUND TO FISH OUT OF AND WHY?
2010 Pro Guide. It fits my style of fishing perfectly, allowing me to stay exactly on way points and contour lines. The openness of the boat without a windshield makes this one of the most fishable boats I've ever been in.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO OUR ENTIRE STAFF AT LUND BOATS?
