Jason values every day he gets to be on the water, whether it is for fun or for work. If you've ever gone out on the water with Jason, you can feel his passion for the outdoors, for the work he does, and for educating others.

“Sharing this experience with others is so gratifying and I look forward to each and every day in the outdoors. I chose to start guiding because I wanted to be out on the water everyday and guiding was a way to accomplish this. I get as much joy watching others catch fish as I do when I catch them.”
