Fishing has been a lifelong passion of mine. I began at a very young age and have been fortunate enough to make a living doing what I love. Born and raised on the Texas Gulf Coast, I've dedicated the past 25 years of my adult life to fishing and exploring.

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.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting 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, bait, 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.
