I was born in Missoula, MT and am going on 36 years old. I started fly fishing at age 12 and have spent the last 24 years fly fishing Montana’s rivers, streams, and lakes. 

​

The 2023 season will mark my 9th season as a guide as well as my 9th season with Latitudes’s Outfitting Co. Prior to my career as a guide I spent 8 seasons working with the US Forest Service. Specifically working in Fisheries biology. I acquired a vast knowledge of trout, trout habitat, stream ecology, and river dynamics. 

​

My boat often consists of a dog on board. An array of cold beverages. An endless selection of flies for every possible situation. Good vibes and a positive mindset. I approach every guide trip with a no trout left behind mentality.

​

As an avid bow hunter September is not the month to book me. As I can not be found near the rivers and will most definitely be deep in the mountains of Montana pursuing elk with bow in hand. 

​

My free time growing up was spent on the river or in the mountains fishing, hunting, hiking, or snowboarding. I started coaching snowboarding and skiing lessons in the winter of the ‘04/‘05 season. Years later I was certified as a Level 3 instructor. This process taught me a great deal in both teaching concepts as well as learning concepts that have transferred over to my guiding. 

 

I enjoy sharing moments with others on the river and watching different anglers progress their abilities. But I still truly believe the best anglers are the ones having the most fun. Though I do take guiding fishing serious, it’s still just fishing and should be a fun and enjoyable experience. 

Whether a first time beginner or the most experienced trout angler, we’ll find a way to make it an enjoyable and memorable experience.
