From the time I was young, I dreamed of becoming the kind of fisherman who could take friends and family out on the water and give them a true coastal adventure. Over the years, that dream grew as I spent more and more time learning the rhythms of the tide, the habits of redfish, trout, and flounder, and the quiet lessons the water has to teach. What started as a personal goal—to be “good enough” to share the joy of fishing with the people I love—slowly became a calling. As my skills grew, so did my desire to share that joy with others. There’s something unforgettable about watching someone catch the fishing bug for the very first time—the excitement, the surprise, the pride. Guiding allows me to bring people into that world, to give them not just a trip on the water, but an experience that stays with them. That passion is what drives every outing with Coastal Creek Charters, whether we’re targeting redfish on the flats, chasing trout, or exploring the creeks and marshes of Darien, Georgia. Interestingly, guiding isn’t my full-time profession. I serve as the Assistant Superintendent of Schools for McIntosh County. My career in public education has given me a deep love for teaching, and that naturally carries over to my time on the water. Just as I guide students through learning, I guide guests through the process of finding fish—teaching them techniques, encouraging them when it’s tough, and celebrating every success along the way. It’s a big reason families and first-time anglers enjoy our family-friendly fishing charters in Darien, GA. For me, guiding is about more than catching fish; it’s about connections. It’s about creating moments where people feel the pull of the line, the beauty of the coast, and the thrill of learning something new. That’s what inspires me, and that’s why I love what I do. To make those moments even better, I run trips aboard a 21-foot Century Bay boat powered by a 200HP Yamaha engine. Designed for up to four guests, it combines speed, comfort, and safety, with features like GPS, fish-finding electronics, a live well, and plenty of room to cast. Whether you’re after flounder in the flats or simply enjoying Georgia’s coastal scenery, the boat provides the perfect platform for a safe, memorable day on the water with Coastal Creek Charters.
