He has been fishing as long as he could walk, and he is living his dream life guiding on the Branson area lakes. He started professionally fishing in 1998, but he had plans since he was 14 years old to fish professionally, buying his first bass boat when he was a freshman in high school. He has had many clients in wheelchairs, and there has never been any problem. He caters each trip to the client, whether they choose to relax, drift, and enjoy the scenery or aggressively learn every technique he can teach them.
