I was born and raised in Jacksonville and started fishing at the age of 8, as I grew there wasn’t a body of water I passed that I didn’t think about tossing in a line to try my luck.
Later in life I loved fishing with my 3 sons, sharing my enjoyment with them. Once they grew up and moved out, I found that taking my friends fishing, helping them be successful was just as rewarding as catching fish myself.
Becoming a guide has given me the opportunity to expand that passion with people not only from the surrounding area, but from across the country.
Everyone I meet seems to have a smile on their face and a great attitude and that’s not surprising because how can you be anything but happy when you’re on a boat fishing?
My goal is to not only help you catch fish, but also to create memories.
