Guppies have always been a big part of my life. My father got back into the guppy hobby the year I was born, so I grew up around guppies. It is easy to say that guppies are in my blood. I started showing back in 2003 after watching my dad raise guppies my whole life. My first strain was reds from a good friend, Stan Shubel. I later moved into Snakeskins, which is still my primary strain today. I have the most points in the history of the International Fancy Guppy Association in the Variegated Snakeskin and the Snakeskin Veil class. I have won 24 class championships. I also have many Best of Shows. I have placed in the top 4 Grand Overall Male many of times. I won Grand Overall Male in 2009.  I was recognized as an IFGA Master Breeder in 2009. I have served as the Vice President  and webmaster of the Michigan Guppy Breeders for many years.  I have served on the IFGA Master Breeder awards committee and I am currently the IFGA correspondent. I like to give back by volunteering to do jobs that are related to the guppy hobby. I have enjoyed the time I have had in this great hobby and hope that many years of showing and winning is in my future.
