Member since March 2026 Austin, United States
Background
In 2008, I fished my first bass club tournament with my dad—and we won. From that moment on, I was hooked. Over the next 12 years, I competed in everything I could, from local club tournaments to FLW qualifiers, chasing the dream of competitive bass fishing. That chapter came to a close when we moved from Arizona, but along the way I discovered something just as meaningful—I truly enjoy taking others fishing and teaching them what I've learned. Whether it's friends or first-timers, there's nothing like watching someone gain confidence and catch fish. One day, a friend suggested I try guiding, and it just clicked. Now, that passion has turned into purpose. My goal is simple: help others learn, grow, and enjoy bass fishing the way I do—while also sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.
Techniques
I love fishing topwater, reaction baits, jigs, texas rigs, flipping docks and grass, and shaky heads when the bite is tough.
