I have been married for 40 years and have three daughters and seven grandchildren.

I started fishing the Terrace area in the 1970’s. On May 24, 1983 I assisted my friend to land an 83-pound Chinook on the Kalum River. It was the river record. That experience changed my life and I started into the fish guiding industry and began exploring and fishing rivers by jet boat.

I pioneered drift boats on the Kalum and Kitimat Rivers and taught many folks how to row them.

I’ve owned a fishing lodge and guide business (Northwest Fishing Guides & Lodge) along with my wife from 1986 to 2001 when we sold it and retired but my love for the industry is just too great and after five years - I am back.

I have written weekly fishing reports from 1996 through 2002, so doing them again is nothing new to me. Those reports can be read on this website.

I have written articles for the magazine British Columbia Sport Fishing, Rikk Taylor publisher.

I have assisted and hosted many outdoor writers and links to their articles are posted on this web site.

I am an AVID Sportfishing and Outdoor photographer. (amateur)

I am an AVID Sportfishing writer with articles published in many Sportfishing magazines and on the Internet.

I have assisted Italo Labignan and Henry Waszczuk of Canadian Sport Fishing in shooting 11 fishing shows in Northwest British Columbia and will try to make shows into the future.

I have made a fishing video for Chinook Salmon and Steelhead on the Kalum River in May of 1991 with Larry Schoenborn of Fishing The West television series, United States market.

I have assisted Jim Teeny and Larry Schoenborn in making a fly-fishing video on the Kispiox River in 1991.

From Oct. 11 - 13, 1996 I was pleased to host and assist John Barrett produce shows for his Flyfishing the World series that has aired on ESPN and all over the world. His guests were actor Lee Horsley and Steve Abel of Abel Reels and Quality Products.

I have hosted and guided Mark Anthony Krupa who recently started his own fishing show on OLN titled “HOOKED” with Mark Krupa”. Tune it in…this is “truly” a five star show. Mark is also a five star outdoor writer and fishing photographer, his photos and articles have appeared in many outdoor publications.

I have produced and marketed my own ” two hour “ feature presentation videos. There are separate (spin tackle) “SEASONS REVIEWS” beginning 1987 through 1995 (nine guiding seasons), plus fly-fishing only and ocean tapes. These tapes are “not” professionally produced but are my own amateur video clips that show folks catching fish and having fun. That said…let me know if you want to purchase these.
