I have hunted more than I've done anything else. I live for it. I have tried to instill the value of sportsmanship and love of hunting into my family. My wife and two boys have taken a liking to it and I would say they love it as much as I do. The excitement and joy from sharing a passion with the ones you love is amazing.
I guided my wife Cara to her first alligator and deer. She has proven to be a natural huntress. Her first alligator hunt was in Kenansville Lake, Florida. We tagged out with two alligators in less-than-perfect conditions. She is a fast learner and determined to do anything she can to the best of her ability. She has harvested multiple animals and has excelled as a guide for our children.
Rayne is the daughter I always wanted. God has blessed me tremendously by bringing her into my life. She is 10 years old and in the fifth grade. She is on honor roll and on the safety patrol. She loves fishing, riding horses, softball, and anything where she can compete with her two older brothers. She is such a sweetheart and has a kind heart and a determined head. If she wants it, she won't stop until she gets it.
She always wants to be the best, the loudest, and the most seen. She is fierce.

The Beauty After the Storm
We all know in Florida it is too often a battle of not enough water so can't ride areas or they are closed or too much water and areas and/or boat ramps are closed. Well after two back-to-back hurricanes (Helene and Milton), there is certainly no shortage of water.

Each year I lead guided trips in some of the most pressured gator waters in southern Georgia and use only archery equipment and my airboat to accomplish it.
