Jim was previously a guide on Lake Illiamna, west of Anchorage. Famous for its monster rainbows as well as silver salmon, Lake Illiamna yielded many limits to Jim and his guests. Prior to that, Jim held his captains license in Florida where his favorite outings were for Dolphin (the game fish) and fishing the Flats for Snook, Redfish, and Tarpon.

Jim prides himself on being able to find fish for any guest and being able to teach youngsters to catch fish. His son Chase is testimony to his ability and it is not uncommon now to hear arguments (especially from Chase) about who the better fisherman actually is.

Jim holds his EMT certificate and was formally a fire fighter on Pine Island, Florida. He graduated from the University of South Florida.

"Hi Jim...sending along some pics I took back in June on our trip with you...my boys are still talking about it! I really enjoy fishing with you because it was like going out and fishing with a good friend, nothing at all like a business transaction that some trips can be like...very very memorable trip for my two sons."
