John was born in Lafayette, Louisiana in 1980, where his passion for fishing started at a young age. John regularly fished the bayous of south Louisiana, but moved to southwest Florida in the 5th grade, where the real fishing fun began! He fished for bass in freshwater ponds and caught saltwater fish, from Boca Grande to the Everglades. John graduated from Vanderbilt University and began a career trading derivative contracts. But his passion for fishing took him around the world exploring the myriad of fresh and saltwater fishing destinations, from Russia to the jungles of Bolivia. This passion led to the beginning of a new career in The Outpost on the Nush. Creating a fantastic team in Alaska while sharing the wonders of Alaska’s wilderness with others has captured his heart. John loves going the extra mile and making life-long memories for all clients visiting the Outpost on the Nush.
