I was raised in Lometa, Texas and made my career as a Correctional Officer, where I have worked for the last 36 years. I have been married for 29 years to my wife, Sherri. We have two boys, Cody and Caden I grew up fishing with my dad since I was old enough to remember on Lake Buchanan and the Colorado river. I have always been an avid hunter and fisherman. I started Rippin Lips Crappie Guide Service two years ago and I am addicted to crappie fishing. I enjoy taking people out and sharing my knowledge in the pursuit of crappie. I enjoy seeing people have fun and catch crappie. I especially enjoy having kids out and helping them land fish after fish and see the smiles that it brings to their faces. I have been in Gatesville, Texas for 32 years and primarily guide on Lake Waco.
