Jr aka River Rat has always loved to fish, something he inherited from his mother and great grandfather. Since the age of 3 he has had a pole in his hand and on the hunt for his next fish. During Covid in 2020 River Rat and River Mom started his Youtube channel as a way to have fun and document fishing trips.
In 2023 River Rat was diagnosed with CIDP, a disease affecting his nerves and affecting his motor functions in his extremities like his legs, feet, arms and hands. There was no way this was going to stop him from doing what he enjoyed, fishing. It was then he decided his Youtube channel had a new purpose. Fishing is for everyBODY!
His goal is to inspire, motivate and encourage people no matter their disability, diagnosis or doctor's report that they can get out and go fish. To share that "Fishing is for everyBODY!" In 2025, Junior's Journey, a non-profit organization was established to help bring awareness to CIDP and raise funds to help research organizations.
