I'm a 45 year old husband and father of two. The outdoors have always been a big part of my life. Grew up in the interior of Alaska, hunting and fishing. As a young adult I moved to the Minnesota Ontario border area where I met my wife and started a family. I've worked in the fishing and hunting industry off and on my whole life. I've fished water from the arctic circle, gulf of Alaska, great lakes, Canadian shield, to the gulf of Mexico and Florida's many inland waters. For the last 10 years I'm proud to call Port St Joe my home port. My people know that I do whatever it takes to assure a successful day on the water.
