How did you get started guiding?
I was always going trying to do well, started finding success in solo hunts and inviting people out for their ‘first x’. My reputation started growing and various outfitters started making job offers. I found a love in Sandhill Crane and opened up just for that particular species.
What makes you different from other guides?
When I started I based off of customer experience, bringing in knowledge of what I had seen and didn’t like as a customer from different outfitters in the past as well as things I did like. Working with that information I tried to build a program that focused on the best way experience an outfit could offer.
