I’ve been fishing since I was very young. I’ve grown up fishing grand traverse bay and know it like the back of my hand. When I’m not guiding I’m either fishing a tournament or scouting new areas for future trips. I’ve fished tournaments all over Michigan, made the state team the past 2 years in a row and gone on to fish regional tournaments. I decided to start guiding because I love being on the water and love teaching people to fish especially kids because we need to keep growing this sport.
