Podcast Host and Content Creator

Growing up along the Jersey Shore, I was fortunate to spend countless days on the water with my dad, who introduced me to fishing at a young age. Some of my best memories were made on boats, along docks, and on the beaches, learning not only how to catch fish but also developing a deep respect for the ocean and everything it provides. Those early experiences sparked a lifelong passion that continues to shape who I am today.

Over the years, I've pursued just about every type of fishing New Jersey has to offer and I truly enjoy it all, but in recent years offshore fishing has become my greatest obsession. The challenge, anticipation, and excitement of fishing the canyons and blue water keep me coming back whenever I get the opportunity.

Today, I spend much of my time on the water as a mate aboard the Eightball Sportfishing, helping anglers create unforgettable fishing experiences while continuing to learn something new every trip. Through NJ Multispecies, I have the opportunity to combine my love of fishing with my passion for connecting with the fishing community. My goal is to share knowledge, tell the stories of the people who make our sport special, and showcase the incredible fishing opportunities that New Jersey and the Northeast have to offer.

As a female saltwater angler in a traditionally male-dominated industry, I bring a unique voice and perspective to the NJ Multispecies Podcast. My goal is to show that fishing is for everyone while helping to inspire more women, families, and newcomers to get involved in the sport. I believe that diverse perspectives strengthen our fishing community, and I enjoy sharing the challenges, successes, and lessons I've learned both on the water and in the industry.

I have been fishing since I could walk. I grew up as a lake kid, spending countless hours on private lakes catching bass, catfish, and panfish with my childhood buddies. As a child, I learned how to fly fish from a hippie who lived out of a VW bus, which opened my eyes to an entirely different side of fishing at a young age. Those early experiences built the foundation for a lifelong obsession with the outdoors, fish, and learning everything I could about the water.

As I got older, I became bored focusing on just one style of fishing and made it my mission to learn how to catch as many species as possible using as many different techniques as I could. That curiosity pushed me into every corner of fishing imaginable — freshwater, saltwater, fly fishing, live bait, artificials, trolling, jigging, shore fishing, kayak fishing, and boat fishing. Over the years, I can confidently say I’ve dipped my toes into most forms of fishing and have done pretty well at all of them. I’ve always believed there is something valuable to learn from every style, every species, and every angler.

What fascinates me most about fishing is the mystery behind it all — the unknown factor of what might bite your line next. No matter how much experience you have, every cast carries possibility, and every fish presents its own unique challenge. I’ve always been fascinated by fish themselves and truly believe each species is a work of art. Their colors, behaviors, habitats, and instincts are incredible to me, and that appreciation for all fish is what ultimately shaped my passion for multi-species angling and the outdoors as a whole.

The NJ Multi Species Podcast became a movement because it challenged the way a lot of people approached fishing in New Jersey.

At the time, most fishing content around NJ was heavily focused on one lane — usually bass fishing, tournament culture, or polished “influencer” content. NJ Multi Species came in with a completely different mindset: fish everything, fish anywhere, and stop pretending one style makes you better than another. Bobbers, live bait, trolling, fly fishing, surf casting, kayak fishing, panfish, catfish, trout, stripers, sheepshead — it all counted.

That message resonated because it reflected how real people actually fish.

The podcast was built by people all working full-time jobs and raising families while trying to build something authentic. There was no studio budget, no network backing, no fake personalities. Just conversations that sounded like the kind of fishing talks people already had in garages, tackle shops, boats, and parking lots after trips.

A few things made it grow beyond “just a podcast”:

The show gave attention to species and fisheries that were ignored by mainstream content.

It treated beginners and hardcore anglers the same way.

The hosts openly admitted failures, skunks, mistakes, and bad trips instead of pretending every outing was epic.

The community aspect became bigger than the episodes themselves.

That community became Multi Species Mayhem — where anglers could compete fishing public water anywhere in NJ, targeting dozens of species instead of obsessing over one. Suddenly people were chasing carp one day, hybrid stripers the next, then trout, shad, snakeheads, white perch, or pickerel after that. It pushed people to explore the state and appreciate how diverse New Jersey fishing really is.

The slogan “Suffer for the fish” became part of the identity. It wasn’t about glamour fishing. It was about freezing mornings, bad weather, long drives, tough bites, and putting in effort because the payoff means more when it’s earned.


The movement also grew because the show wasn’t afraid to speak on bigger fishing issues:


  • Sea bass regulations
  • Striped bass management
  • Trout stocking problems
  • Public access
  • Conservation
  • Offshore wind concerns
  • Supporting party boats and small tackle shops


That gave the audience a sense that this wasn’t only entertainment — it was advocacy for NJ anglers.

Social media amplified everything. Viral striped bass content, multi-species challenges, livestreams, YouTube episodes, TikToks, and community events gave people a way to participate instead of just watch. The Christmas parties, pig roasts, tournaments, Gambler trips, and live shows turned listeners into an actual network of anglers who knew each other.

Most podcasts build an audience.

NJ Multi Species built a culture around the idea that every fish matters, every angler belongs, and New Jersey has one of the most underrated fisheries in the country.
