I’ m a recreational angler and outdoor enthusiast from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
I previously suffered from major anxiety and depression where it got to the point of taking a medical leave of absence from my job, to not leaving my bedroom to eat, I was unable to face anybody. I had many trips to the Dr, Emergency room, and counselor’ s office... they kept trying different medications and counselor tips but nothing worked. I was raised by my grandmother since birth due to my mother’ s not so great choices in life, as she suffered with many addictions.
Growing up with my grandparents gave me many great opportunities. They always had me outdoors and just about every weekend we would be fishing at one lake, river or another.
Although my grandparents worked on giving me the best life possible. There were still some bumps along the way with many tragic losses and other major family problems. Which later in life caused me to suffer with severe anxiety, depression, and traumatic flashbacks.
