Trip Summary
Trip Summary
Ive been a full time fishing guide for nine years. My father was a full time fishing guide for 45 years and he had hundreds of guides work for him. Consequently ive been exposed to alot of people who describe themselves as a “fishing guide”. Im well aware that people have alot of choices when it comes to hiring a fishing guide for the day. Im also aware from my experirnce that there are alot of bad choices out there - i would like to provide some reasons to consider me.
1. My qualifications are exemplary - im insured by chater lakes. Im a us coast guard qualified charter boat captain. Im licensed to charter through the potomac river fisheries commission. Im first aid and cpr certified through the red cross.
2. My background is exemplary - ive never been arrested. I dont use illegal drugs or drink alcohol to excess. Im drug tested as dictated by the coast guard.
3. My past career was successful and interesting. I was a police detective for 27 years and won almost every award tge department had to offer. From finishing first in my police academy class to be selected to hand picked units that obliterated drugs, dwi and street crimes. I would finish first in two swat schools but eventually met my goal of being a detective and supervisor of the homicide division. I would never have an open case in himicide while maintaing the highest case load
4. Im educated - i achieved an associates degree from montgomery college. A bachelors degree from university of Maryland. I would attend johns hopkins university police executive program and later transfer my credits to liberty university for my masters degree. I would teach at the police academy, maryland university, and human trafficking investigation throughout the country.
5. Im committed to the Potomac river - i was selected as vice president of the Marylsnd DNR black bass fishery committee and as secretary of the Maryland DNR Catch a poacher program. I was exposed to the politics that damages our beloved river.
6. Im financially independent- im not financially dependant on anyone or on the money provided through guiding. Consequently im honest in my financial dealings and dont need to get a guide in despite bad conditions. I do respect my time but i always provide accurate info as to fishing conditions. You wont be surprised by added expenses at the end of the trip.
7. I feel that all the professional measureables are achieved but i also feel that im courteous, friendly, patient, and professional. I always strive to do my best and not place clients in a position to fail.
There are alot of choices and im well aware that there may be better fishermen than i but i work every day to be the best fishermsn on the river. However i provide alot of intangibles that allow clients to book with confidence. We dont always catch them because fish are a variable that is uncontrollable but im going to give full effort. After all im the “hardest working guide on the river”.
