How did you get started guiding?

I began fishing Galveston Bay as a kid & fell in love with it. I decided to pursue this passion of mine and become a fishing guide in 2006.

What makes you different from other guides?

My experience and versatility is probably my best asset as a guide. I have logged hundreds of hours wading flats, shorelines and reefs with artificials, but also enjoy fishing live bait out of the boat. I split my time now fishing inshore, jetties and offshore.
