Over 40 years later and I love it as much today as I did then. Having fished all over the map I can tell you there aren’t many places as special as the Gulf Coast.

How did you get started guiding?
I started guiding in spring of 2021, professionally after taking a guided trip with a friend. It was something I've thought about for years and have always enjoyed helping others catch fish. Guiding is truly a passion and I can't imagine doing anything else.
What makes you different from other guides?
I'm laid back and easy going. My goal is to help you catch some fish while having a good time. To me it's more about quality. Quality time with family or friends catching some fish and enjoying the outdoors. Doesn't get much better than that!
