My life has been an incredible journey of exploration, growth, and adaptation, shaped by the nomadic lifestyle of moving often due to my father’s service in the Air Force. These experiences, along with the love of my little sister and my father’s dedication, helped me discover my true passions: fishing and fitness.

At Lions Tale TV, I’m blending those passions in ways that redefine both. Fishing and fitness may seem worlds apart, but they share common ground—discipline, endurance, and a deep connection to nature. Through my content, I’m challenging the norm and showing how these two passions complement each other.

Lions Tale TV is supported by powerhouse brands like Under Armour, MarineMax, Grady-White Boats, and Project Rock—Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson’s personal clothing brand. Their support elevates and complements the work we do, giving you access not only to my audience but to theirs as well. This collaboration amplifies everything we create, pushing boundaries and delivering unparalleled content.

I am a deeply driven individual who doesn’t know how to quit, and I want to inspire the world to chase their dreams. People often ask where I get my drive and passion from, and I tell them the answer is simple. As Drake said: 'Where do I get it from... they always wonder who, Then they meet my pops and tell ‘em, Lionel is just a younger you.” - Uptown, Drake
