My Story

Alabama Girl,
Living Wild

I grew up in Crenshaw County, Alabama, surrounded by rivers, woods, and family who showed me the outdoors isn't a hobby — it's a way of life. Dad taught me to fish before I could read. Noodling became an obsession before I knew it had a name.

After graduating from Troy University in 2018 with a B.S., I committed fully to sharing this lifestyle. A few videos of me grabbing catfish out of underwater holes turned into a community of millions who love the outdoors as much as I do.

I'm not here to be perfect. I'm here to be real. Muddy boots, early mornings, big catches.

What I Stand For

My Values

01 / Conservation
Protect What We Love
Responsible hunting and fishing. Catch-and-release where it counts. Land stewardship is non-negotiable.

Every adventure is better shared. My family taught me everything I know. Everything I do honors that.

No Filters
No fakeness. I show up as I am — muddy boots, big catches, beautiful chaos.
