A: Winning the inshore division at the 2018 Inshore/Offshore Wars.

Q: What is your most memorable catch?
A: A 48” snook when I was 13 years old. Going to be hard to beat!

Q: What is your most memorable client catch?
A: On the first guide trip that I ever ran, my client caught a 43” snook on a live shiner. He was an experienced angler, and understood the caliber of fish he just reeled in. He was beyond excited, and still is his personal best.

Q: Do you enjoy fishing as much as you enjoy guiding?
A: Without a doubt. I try to fish as much as I can on my days off.

A: Redfish.

Q: What is your dream fishing location?
A: Costa Rica for billfish and roosterfish.

Q: Music or no music on the boat?
A: My stereo isn’t always on, but when it is, I lean towards classic country.

Q: What can everyone do to help the environment of the Southwest Florida?
A: Everyone can play their part by responsibly dealing with their garbage and picking up any you may come across while outside.
