About

My entire life has been defined by a deep obsession with fishing in all its forms. Growing up in Central Ohio, I never imagined I’d one day find myself in the fishing capital of the world: Florida. Over the past decade, I’ve dedicated countless hours to mastering the waters of Southwest Florida, with Estero Bay serving as my home base.

I specialize in backcountry fly fishing, sight fishing, and fishing with both artificial and live bait. My ultimate goal is to share the natural beauty, thrilling action, and unmatched excitement that made me fall in love with fishing in Southwest Florida.
