Growing up in the inner city of North Philadelphia, Lou had the good fortune to being introduced to fishing and crabbing the bays of the Atlantic Ocean at the tender age of 4.  It wasn’t until his “pre-teen” years that the floodgates of outdoor recreation and freshwater fishing opened.  Embracing his connection with nature, Lou immediately made continuous efforts to escape the City and wander the woods to fish, hike, hunt and camp.

When Lou’s not working crafting custom cabinets and counter tops, he can be found enjoying camping, fishing or hiking with his family.  Of course, this is assuming he’s not out supporting his daughter Isabella at a high school marching band competition or cheering on his son Keiran on the soccer field.  Lou can also be found studying the arts of primitive survival and bush crafts all while stroking his luscious beard and drinking a good craft beer.

Like Jeremy, Lou has also failed at catching a carp/ catfish in the local waters.
