Tom is a proud graduate of South Umpqua High School in Myrtle Creek, Oregon. In 2007, he answered the call to serve and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where he spent six years as a helicopter mechanic, working on some of the most advanced aircraft in the military. His time in the Marines not only sharpened his technical skills but also forged a deep sense of discipline, resilience, and commitment.

In 2013, after an intense 11-month battle with
bone cancer, Tom was medically retired from active duty. Despite the hardships he faced during that time, he emerged with a renewed passion for the outdoors and a drive to keep moving forward.

Fishing has been a constant thread throughout Tom’s life — from his early days casting lines in the high-mountain reservoirs of Colorado to exploring the vast, untamed waters of the Pacific Ocean. His love for fishing runs deep, shaped by both adventure and healing, and it continues to be one of his greatest passions.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
