I grew up in north Georgia hunting and fishing places like the Cohutta Wilderness for trout and redye bass. A driver’s license allowed my small circle on the map to expand larger and larger until I found myself in western Montana. Ultimately I was drawn back to my home range to build a guiding career in the southeast focusing on landlocked stripers, bass and trout I grew to love as a kid. My passion for fishing and guiding has afforded me opportunities to fish amazing places. Some of my favorite places are Baja, Patagonia and the Bahamas.

1. Home water? Being from north Georgia, native bass species and migratory stripers are a passion and cornerstone of my guiding career, I divide my time almost evenly guiding tailwater trout, stripers, and bass from Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia throughout the year.
2. What 2-3 lines do you use the most and why?
   Sonar Titan Tropical Clear Tip – My go to line for southern summertime river striper fishing. It loads a rod well and turns over a large fly with ease.
   Sonar 3D Sink Int/ Sink 3/ Sink 5 – Very versatile line for a variety of situations ranging from striper fishing lakes to hitting riverbanks with streamers.
   Amplitude Anadro – My go to line for big river trout fishing. It turns over big hopper droppers/indicator rigs and mends like a dream. I have found all the Amplitude series of lines to be incredibly durable as well.
3. Where would you most like to fish? All the places where Golden Dorado like to exist, Labrador is up there on my list too.
4. Two Truths and a Lie. 
I’ve been known to rescue an animal or two along the banks of a river. I was once a celloist. I got into this business for the money.
