Background
born in the outerbanks of North Carolina fishing is more then a hobby it’s in my DNA. its something I’ve loved since i was a kid. i spent many years taking friends and family fishing putting them on great fish after a couple years of that I decided being a full time guide is what i wanted to do when i grew up. so i starting really focusing on that. i spent the better half of a decade in the military which gave me a really cool opportunity to fish in many different places and learn many different techniques some in which i still use today. i was always told growing up that if you did what you loved for a living you’d never work a day in your life. and most of the time id say i 100% agree. this isnt work. this is love and passion. bringing smiles and memories to people doing something i love is a gift i wish everyone could experience.
Techniques
trolling and bottom fishing and I’ve recently starting picking up fly fishing
