I’m just a guy who loves the water and loves to fish. I have always had a love for fishing as I owned my first boat at just 18 years old and you would frequently find me fishing some lake or river on any given day. I am married and have 2 children. I was born and raised in STL MO. I moved to FL a little over 10 years ago, in which my love for the water and fishing continued to grow. I became scuba certified but wanted more. I was tired of turning wrenches as a mechanic everyday all day, but was afraid of branching out on my own away from what was a familiar steady income. My decision to become a guide was built on passion, desire and dedication. I have always wanted to be one. I finally just hit the bullet and did it. I finally traded my wrench in for a reel and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I love what I do and I love sharing my passion for being out...

How did you get started guiding?

Someone once told me if you love what you do for work, you will never work a day in your life. Fishing is and has always been my favorite pastime. Moving to FL a little over 10 years ago has only exacerbated that love. I love the water, being out on the boat, catching waves and fishing. I love taking people out fishing that have never been fishing before and getting them on some big fish. It makes my day to see their eyes lite up when a fish hits their line. My decision to become a guide was built on passion, desire and dedication. I have always wanted to be one. I finally just hit the bullet and did it. It was the best decision I’ve ever made.

What makes you different from other guides?

My customers are the most important thing to me in every trip. I strive to make sure each and every customer has the very best experience.
