How did you get started guiding?

My uncle was a captain, and he started taking me out as a toddler and I just fell in love with it

What makes you different from other guides?

I love to joke around and have a great time on trips- there can be intense moments on fishing trips, but love to just have a good time and make sure customers have a great experience- Having fun and building camaraderie is what matters most
