I have grown up fishing the lakes of southwest Missouri. I grew up in Ava, Missouri where I attended school. After graduation I attended College of the Ozarks where I played basketball and majored in physical education. I now live in Branson with my wife and our four kids. Along with guiding I also Coach basketball and the fishing team at Hollister High School. I love being on the water and being able to help people enjoy the great outdoors as much as I do.
