How did you get started guiding?
I have been an avid fisherman from a young age, so I wanted to find a way to take my passion and share it with others. I got started guiding by doing lots of research, talking with other guides and captains, completing the required training and obtaining the required licenses. I also visited my local community college and enrolled in their small business development program, which was a tremendous help.
What makes you different from other guides?
What makes me different is I will take the time to explain the intricacies of fishing and try my best to make it a fun and educational experience for everyone, especially for children. Our trips are custom tailored to meet the goals of our clients, whether it be to target a specific species of fish, take home a tasty meal, or just enjoy time on the water. Additionally, as an active member of the Gulf Coast Rescue Squad and former law enforcement, safety is our top priority. We are focused on giving our clients a safe, fun and enjoyable experience that will make memories to last a lifetime.
