I grew up in Ocean Springs Mississippi. I’ve fished all along the Mississippi gulf coast since I was a kid. I’ve always said that the coastal waters of Mississippi are my “Backyard” and that I’d never move away. I now live in Ocean Springs with a boat launch in the back of my neighborhood making it easier to access from my “backyard”.

Rapid Fire Guide Q & A

What’s the biggest fish you’ve caught?
Personal biggest -171 pound tuna charter biggest 9’ bull shark
If you were cooking for all your friends what would you cook?
Blackened fish tacos
What’s your favorite band?
Red clay strays
How did you get started guiding?
I started deck handing for charter boats while I was in high school. I worked on several different boats. Once I started my career at the Ocean Springs Fire d Department in 2018, I decided to buy my own boat so I could run trips that aligned with my schedule.
What makes you different from other guides?
Over the years, I have worked for 10 different captains. I have learned a lot of do’s and dont’s from them. I’ve seen captains ruin good days and I’ve seen captains turn mediocre days into some of the best days people have ever experienced. I know that the attitude and effort of a captain can make or break a trip. I try my hardest on every trip to give the client what they signed up for when they paid for the trip.
