Non-Angling Hero Mom and dad – "I was born in Rome, Italy, and my parents came over when I was 18 months old. They came here with nothing – just a couple of suitcases. They retired very well off. They are the true American dream. And what they instilled in their kids is hard and sacrifice are everything. I get emotional just talking about it."
When Not Fishing "I like to lay around the house and spend time with my family."
Why He Fishes "My sheer love of fishing. When I fish, I'm at peace and one with Mother Nature. There's something you feel out on the water that you don't have anywhere else."
