I am a retired 911 Communications (28 years) andBowfishing isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve built my business around creating unforgettable experiences on the water.

I take pride in making every trip fun, safe, and welcoming, whether it’s your first time holding a bow or you’ve been doing this for years. Teaching, building confidence, and helping people enjoy the sport are just as important to me as putting fish in the boat.

What sets my trips apart is that no two trips are the same. I take the time to get to know each group and tailor the experience to match their style — high-energy action, laid-back fun, family-friendly adventures, or anything in between. I want everyone to feel comfortable, included, and excited from start to finish.

When you book with me, you’re not just booking a fishing trip — you’re getting an experience led by someone who genuinely loves what he does and is committed to making sure you leave with great memories and stories worth telling.

How did you get started guiding?

What makes you different from other guides?
I don’t just hand someone gear — I teach them how to use the equipment safely and proficiently, encourage them, and make sure everyone feels capable. That confidence is what turns a one-time guest into a repeat customer and a friend. I'm approachable, not intimidating. First-timers, experienced, kids, couples, and the “I’ve never held a bow before” folks feel welcome. That’s HUGE in bowfishing, where a lot of guides can feel hardcore or closed-off.

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.
