Growing up on the coast of southern Alabama is where my passion for fishing began. Since reeling in my first fish, I have spent 30 years on the water sport and commercial fishing and honing the skills needed to share my passion. Here on the Crystal Coast, where I call home with my amazing wife and son, I spend my days on the water putting people on the fish they’re after, giving them the thrill that comes with winning the fight and reeling in the fish.
