Bristol Adventures

2012 – Present
Helped sell Mission Lodge to the Bristol Bay Native Corporation as they entered into tourism. I worked with them to develop their tourism division, now known as Bristol Adventures, which is comprised of four remote lodges and a ‘bush’ flight service. I continued to work at Mission Lodge as the Operations Manager for another four years and now work in the Bristol Adventures Sales Department.

Florida Keys Guiding

2008 – 2018

Given all of my other duties, my guiding in the Keys was just for Mission Lodge guest and their friends (aka. future Mission Lodge guests). Moved back out to Oregon in the summer of 2018.

Never hold a Tarpon like this, unless you want your nose broke. I survived this early encounter, but I know a few of the legends with great stories of blood and chaos.
Prior to the big freeze of 2009, we kind of took these giant Bonefish for granted. Kind of. Not really. Ten pound fish regularly swam a lot of the flats, with the occasional, well educated, mid-double digit fish like this showing up to either humble you, ruin your day, or the stars aligned and it became your personal best. Stew Apte has the twin of this one mounted and sitting on his coffee table in the Keys.

The Lodge at Whale Pass

Typical Spring Steelhead hen landed with my best friend, Glenn Young during the inaugural season near the lodge.

2003 – 2007 Re-Opened an abandoned lodge in SE Alaska and turned it into the first Fishing & Adventure lodge in the region. Worked with the Tongass National Forest to receive their first ever Eco-Tour Permit awarded in the Tongass.

Ascension Bay Bonefish Club

2000 – 2015

Part owner, general manager of this great little club in the Yucatan Peninsula region of Mexico. Worked on sales and marketing year around and helped with projects and logistics and hosting onsite during the seasons.

I literally designed and commissioned the ‘first ever’ poling platforms in the Caribbean [or at least the Yucatan Peninsula] for the Panga-style boats. They were built by an interesting Ex-Pat in old Cancun.
