After working for one of the largest sporting goods retailers where I helped educate customers about fishing equipment for 17 years, I decided to start guiding and teaching people to fish on the Potomac River. Fishing is what I love to do, since my grandfather took me as a young boy. Back then it was just about catching the next fish and now it is about helping others catch their next fish. Never give up, keep casting!
