What can you tell us about your passion for fishing?

My passion for fishing runs deep. Since I was as young as I can remember I would fish every day I had a chance and all day long. I have now been blessed enough that I can turn my true passion into my career.

You have extensive tournament fishing under your belt. What is it like to go from a tourney angler to a guide?

Tourney angler to guide are definitely two different worlds that have some similarities mixed in. Guiding tends to mix in with the ability to adjust to break down water quickly, and knowing what to tell people to use and teaching techniques for what is going on that particular day. The main difference that most people fail to realize is that guiding for a living is not fishing for a living. Guiding is the ability to put other people on fish and give them the memories and experience of the memorable first catch or day on the water. The best part of my job is knowing that. The memories made in my boat will be life long.
