What do you want for Christmas this year?

Just to hang out with the kids.

How did you get started guiding?

Never intended on guiding. I was doing too well in tournaments and started having too many guys offering to pay me to take them fishing and show them how I was catching them. Eventually got tired of turning guys down.

What makes you different from other guides?

The reason I didn't check much of anything on the "vibe" questions is because I am all of those things. The biggest mistake that guides make is that they assume everyone wants the same experience from a guided trip. I cater my trips and cater my "vibe" to meet the needs of my clients. I do this with lots of communication with the clients before the trip in order to make sure that my expectations and your expectations align. The #1 reason clients have a negative experience with a guide is because those expectations didn't match. By making sure expectations match beforehand, I always have fun trips.
