About the Event:

Growing up, fishing with my dad was everything. Those hours on the water weren’t really about catching fish—they were about being together, learning from him, and feeling that he loved me. Those memories shaped me, and I carry them to this day.

That’s what I want to give fathers and sons through this event. A chance to slow down, to fish, but also to have deeper conversations. To laugh together, to reflect together, and to walk away knowing—without a doubt—that they are loved and seen.

At the end of the day, fish will be caught or maybe they won’t. But what really matters is that fathers and sons will have a moment to connect, to hold space for each other, and to build legacy together.
