Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.

What do you want for Christmas this year?
I grew up overseas for part of my life and I’ve been traveling again. Anything that helps with that or my fishing charters.
How did you get started guiding?
I started deck-handing on a charter boat when I was 13. After that I worked the docks down south a little bit and then joined the Coast Guard. Once I got out I started my own guiding business.
What makes you different from other guides?
I don’t just love catching fish I love getting to know my clients. I’ve learned a lot from the many conversations I’ve had on the boat.
One of my main goals, is for families to have the opportunity to get on the water and see what fishing is like in this area. I chose the bigger boat I run and implement techniques I use to help make this possible. I want everyone to have the experience of fishing in this area.
