I cut my teeth in fishing and is still one of my favorite places to be. I managed to secure a full academic scholarship in business to Sam Houston State out of high school, where I got a finance degree. I've since almost completed another business degree as well as one in political science. During my time as SHSU I fished collegiality in numerous FLW events in Texas, almost always maintaining a top ten finish. To this day I still maintain contact with the acting club President and help in an way I can, whether it just be advise. I work in the banking and finance industry as a loan officer. In 2013 at 22 years young I started a real estate holding company (Richardson Holdings) and by the end of 2014 owned 4 rental properties and two other investment property's. In 2015 I started a lifestyle brand company called Realistic Riches. Basically from 9-5 you'll find me in a suit and tie. After, I resemble more of someone who fits the part of someone who fishes and hunts large scale. To date I have 5 fish over 10lbs to my name, a lot with several 8's and 9's. With my personally best being a 12.3. I fish big nonetheless.
