What do you want for Christmas this year?
A bigger boat, always a bigger boat.
How did you get started guiding?
I have fished my entire life and always wanted to be a guide. One morning I woke up to go to my normal 9-5 job and asked myself why am I not doing what makes me happy. I quit my job that morning and the rest is history.
What makes you different from other guides?
I strive to provide a safe, fun, and entertaining experience aboard the boat. Each trip for me is an opportunity to share my passion and knowledge with a new group. Whether you are a beginner or the expert angler my goal is that we catch fish obviously but you also leave having learned something new and created memories that will last a lifetime.
