If you could take anyone fishing, who would it be and why?
My brothers Aaron and Noah, and my dad Tim. There is no better place to catch up on life, and discuss what it's all about, than on a river with people you love.

What do you do in the offseason?
I guide in Tierra Del Fuego for Sea Trout, after I'm done waterfowl hunting. I am also working hard to help people buy and sell property in the Island Park area.
