Fishing Across America

Is it still called a "midlife crisis" if you're only 28? On the eve of his 30th birthday, an ordinary Millennial takes a life-altering, 46-day road trip across the United States that serves as the catalyst for change he so desperately needs in his life, a way to climb out of the depression brought on by a lifetime in the same small town and a chance to embrace new experiences.

It is the summer of 2019, the last COVID-free summer the world will ever know, and the author is fueled by an aching quest for the new and novel. In total, he will pass through 19 states in a span of six weeks in search of fishes he has never caught, delicious food he has never before tasted, new and old friends, and, most of all, meaning.

Fishing is in the title, but don't let that stop you. What sets this book apart is its one-of-a-kind blend of travel, food, humor, introspection, purpose, and fishing within a single, summerlong adventure. Like the books Eat, Pray, Love or Wild or the film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, this book is about one person choosing to change his life for the better by pursuing his passion wherever it leads him, by Fishing Across America
