I then moved to Destin to start my career as a guide running inshore and offshore trips out of the Destin Harbor for 3 years before settling down in beautiful Santa Rosa beach where I now call home and have spent the past few years guiding the back of the Choctawhatchee bay full time with the occasional gulf trip.I now have opened a full time guiding service to share my knowledge, passion, dedication, and lifestyle I have acquired from growing up in this special area.
