I am a passionate outdoorsman and seasoned fishing guide with a deep love for the water. Known for my energy, knowledge, and dedication to creating unforgettable experiences, I have built a reputation for putting clients on fish and ensuring every trip is both successful and fun. Whether you're chasing hard-fighting hybrid stripers or targeting crappie and white bass, I bring years of experience, local knowledge, and top-notch tactics to every outing.

When I am not guiding anglers, I can often be found catching air behind a boat. A lifelong wakeboarder, I blends my athleticism and comfort on the water into everything I do. My dual passions for fishing and wakeboarding reflect my commitment to living life outdoors and helping others enjoy it too.

Whether you're looking to land your personal best or simply enjoy a great day on the lake, I am the guide you want at the helm.

Steaks

How did you get started guiding?

I met one of the local guides on the lake, he ran out of gas so I towed him in. We started fishing together a bit and one thing lead to another and here I am today.

What makes you different from other guides?

I try to tailor each trip to my clients expectations. Everybody has a different expectation of a fishing trip. I always come to the lake with a plan and try my very best to stick to that plan.
