     Born and raised in Southwest Florida, fishing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From catching bass off a dock at age three to chasing snook and tarpon in San Carlos Bay as a boy, the waters here shaped who I am today.

      By the time I was in grade school, I was spending every sunrise on the docks of Punta Rassa, learning the tides, the fish, and the patience it takes to master them. Snook quickly became my favorite species—powerful, elusive, and smart—and tarpon a close second. Over the years, I’ve dedicated countless nights and early mornings to pursuing these fish with lures and flies, always practicing catch and release and respecting the health of the fishery.

        My passion has taken me from the beaches of Sanibel to deep into the Florida Everglades, where I’ve camped and fished for decades. Friends and fellow captains have long told me to share that passion, and in 2024 I finally earned my captain’s license.  Now, I’m excited to bring others along to experience the same thrill—the explosive “thump” of a snook strike, the drag-screaming run of a tarpon, and the unforgettable beauty of Florida’s waters. Join me, and let’s chase fish and make memories together.
