Rich is a South Florida native born and raised in Homestead, FL. Over the years Rich has gathered a wealth of knowledge of the vast marine life and old Florida history. His love for fishing started at an early age fishing with his Dad from just about any location imaginable. Bridges, canals, boats, and beaches, no matter the location or what they caught it was always about the time and experience together that made each trip an unforgettable Angling Adventure.

Today you can find Rich guiding full time from Miami to Key West.  He is able to cover this wide range of waters because he trailers his skiff all over and is able to stay at his home in Homestead when fishing Miami & Flamingo or at his home in Summerland Key when fishing the Middle and Lower Keys.  He is patient with all levels of fisherman and loves to teach people that want to learn how to become a better fisherman.  "For me fishing has always been something I love.  I live for those car rides home where everyone has a little grin and is speachless because they can't believe what just happened on the water earlier that day."
