Growing up I was blessed to experience many fishing adventures out of our camp on Lake Pontchartrain. Louisiana has such an incredible fishery and over time I realized sharing what we have is extremely fun! Few things compare to watching a young angler reel in fish after fish, or an avid fisherman catch their first Redfish. After serving in the infantry in the early 2000's I spent 15 years in sales, where I learned the importance of customer service.
For the last 7 years I have guided full time in the Rigolets area of Lake Pontchartrain. The current boat is a 25' Bluewave bay boat. The two most common compliments received for the boat are the cleanliness and amount of space on board.
As far as standing out from other guides, what sets me apart is that I do not follow the fleet, I do not rely on a network of fishermen to feed me information, I do not rely on phone calls or a radio to find fish, and I avoid community holes as much as possible.

Other hobbies
would be spending time with my wife and two sons.
When a customer books a trip with me, they can immediately expect thorough communication about what to expect and also I want to know what their expectations are. I want every trip to be the trip of a lifetime.
