Meet Your Captain

---

Mike competed in every tournament in town and won 1st, 2nd or 3rd place in almost every tournament that he competed in. Then it was time to try backcountry and flats fishing. After 1 year Mike sold his offshore boat and became a full-time Backcountry Fishing Guide, winning many backcountry tournaments and still backcountry fishing today.

Mike has had the opportunity to be a Fishing Guide for a past President, sports heroes, actors, senators, and some very interesting fishermen and enjoys every minute of it. You could sit for hours and hear all the interesting stories that Mike has to offer about events, people, and some pretty interesting situations he has come to find himself in.
This is what led Mike to The American Outdoorsman, and is very honored to be a member of the “Pro Staff”. He is looking forward to bringing his passion and knowledge of fishing to The American Outdoorsman.

Mike has been a fishing guide for about 30 years now. He made a full recovery from his near-death accident, and by looking at him today, you would never know that it even happened. He continues to live his life to the fullest and is thankful for every day he has.
