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." |
