I grew up with saltwater in my blood and a crusty salt film on my skin and hair. Born and raised on the beaches of Southern California, my earliest memories are of me

chasing schools of bonita with a nine foot rod down the jetties that run along the sides of so many beaches there. While my friends all spent the days surfing as kids, I spent my days out at sea watching my backing disappear on yellowtail, mako sharks, and the pelagic fish that roam the Pacific.  I went to college at the University of Santa Barbara so I could spend my time in between classes on the water. I graduated in 1993 with a Bachelors Degree in Philosophy. I have since spent the years travelling the globe chasing fish with a fly in a never ending pursuit of new and exciting species.

Four years ago I moved to New Orleans to become a full time guide and fish the most prolific saltwater fishery in the United States. It is my passion and obsession and I won’t rest until I help you fulfill your dreams on the water
