ABOUT
ME

      I've had a passion for fishing since I was a small child.  It has always been a way for me to get away from everyday life.  When I'm on the water, I have a sense of peace and joy, still to this day, that I can't explain.  That passion has lead me through some really difficult times throughout my life.  I have grown to really love the challenges that inshore fishing provides.   

      I was a freshwater fisherman growing up but some of the same techniques rolled over to inshore and the rest I have learned mostly on my own.  I received my Captains license and started guiding from my 18' Freedom Patriot.  I look forward to the adventures and the memories we will share with each other out on the water.  I am patient and understanding and willing to teach you anything that you ask of me.  

​      Born in Houston Texas.  Graduated Alvin High school.  I worked as a landscape irrigator for over 15 years.  Foreman and owner of my own landscape company for 8 years.  I've worked for other landscape companies running crews for commercial properties.  I can design, bid, and install irrigation as well as fish, but those days are long gone.  I started my YouTube channel in May of 2020 just as a hobby and to help other fisherman catch fish by giving them tips and advise through my videos.  Deep down God had bigger plans for me, and when God puts something in my heart that stays, I can't help but go with it.  Quitting my full time job as an irrigator to become a full time fishing guide was scary for me, but I had a really strong feeling that it was that time.  I thank him multiple times a day, every day, that I am doing what I truly love and making a living on His water.  I named my business Clean Fun Fishing after my sobriety.  My sobriety date is September of 2017 and I haven't looked back ever since.  Being clean and sober has opened up a whole new world for me that I now live for...Fishing!  It's an experience that I would love to share with you!
