River Raiders Expedition Guide/Owner

I have been fly fishing America’s great waterways for over three decades in places such as: The rivers and lakes of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Nevada and California. The Rocky Mountains in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Upstate New York, the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, and the blue ridge mountains of North Carolina. And the coastal waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific. During my service in the Marine Corps, I was fortunate to be able to lead mountaineering expeditions, fly fishing expeditions (fresh and saltwater) and overnight wilderness expeditions in many remote locations around the globe.

Now, driven by my passion for the outdoors and the Maine wilderness, I decided to join the coveted ranks of the Professional Registered Maine Guides. I have had the opportunity to work with various reputable outfitters across the state, and have amassed extensive knowledge of Maine’s woods, lakes, and rivers. As a registered hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation guide, I currently focus on the iconic rivers and lakes of The Rangeley Lakes Region in the western mountains of Maine.

Whether we are exploring Maine’s backcountry streams in pursuit of America’s true native wild brookies or trolling for Maine’s very own “Landlocked Salmon” or daring the world class rivers of the Rangeley Lakes Region. The satisfaction and passion you get out of these experiences will last you for generations to come.”

I look forward to your expedition!

While growing up in Western Maine, I learned to embrace the beauty of nature through a wide variety of outdoor recreational experiences. After my own childhood adventures, I found joy in teaching my children how to hunt and fish. The joy and excitement of watching my children’s first cast and first hunt is something that I will always remember. Over the past thirty years, I have enjoyed sharing the art and skills of outdoor experiences with my family and friends.

In 2023, because of my lifelong passion for hunting, fishing, camping and boating, I decided to join the elite profession and become a Registered Maine Guide in the fields of Hunting, Fishing, and Recreation. I have spent most of my time in the outdoors exploring the Western Mountains of Maine both in the woods hunting for moose, white tail deer, Black Bear, turkey and on the Western Maine waters fishing for native Brook Trout and Landlocked Salmon.

Whether you opt for a solo adventure or partner with family and friends, the experience and excitement you will have on your next expedition will be a true memory that you can share for generations to come.

I look forward to your expedition!

I spent a significant part of my childhood in the picturesque Rangeley Lakes region in western Maine. In 2020, after earning both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, I decided to return permanently to Rangeley. I began working full-time with the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust, focusing on development. I am deeply passionate about this region and committed to ensuring that access to its activities remains available for future generations.

My love for the Rangeley Lakes region and my passion for fishing led me to become a Professional Registered Maine Guide in 2022. That same year, I established my own business, Moosehook Guide Service. To maintain my work in land conservation, I guide part-time, with my availability peaking in the winter months. I am pleased to be teaming up with River Raiders Expeditions and look forward to the opportunity to guide fly fishing, trolling, and ice fishing trips for people of all ages and experience levels.

Regardless of the season, the adventure you seek, or the skills you wish to learn, I would love to be part of an experience that enhances your love for the sport and this beautiful region!

I look forward to your expedition!
