Fl native, I grew up in-shore fishing NE Florida and the gulf coast. Been blessed to have fly fished all over north America the past 25years. From giant rainbows on the Kenia River in Alaska, to steelheads on the Chilliwack in BC and all over the freestone creeks/rivers up and down the east coast. I lived in Blueridge for 10 years and guided there part-time and in 2008 I came back home to the sunshine state. Since then, I have really been focusing on dialing in the backcountry waters as polling for tailing floodtide reds in the beautiful spartina marsh mazes is my true passion.

Either fishing hard, learning, or just relaxing I guarantee a fun educational day on the water.
