Growing up in the New Orleans area, I was introduced to hunting and fishing at an early age. I have been fishing and duck hunting for the past 35 years in the interior marshes and bays just off the Mississippi River between Empire, LA to Venice, LA. As I like to say, “It’s not the end of the world , but you can see it from here.” After graduating from Louisiana State University then starting a family and career, I moved to Dallas, TX then Nashville, TN where I have lived for 20 years. Obviously, living away from the coast, there is no quality saltwater fishing so I have continue to fish in my home waters of Louisiana . As for waterfowl, I have been hunting the Mississippi Flyway in Eastern Arkansas for the past 20 years with great success.
All of this background leads me to say, I am passionate about Saltwater Fishing and Duck Hunting. I enjoy the outdoors and love sharing these traditions with others.
I invite you to share in some of life’s simple but great pleasures by booking some dates with LARK Outdoors for either fishing in Southeast Louisiana or waterfowl hunting in Eastern Arkansas .
I look forward to meeting you soon

If you’re like me, you gain a better perspective on life and feel more alive when participating in the great outdoors. In today’s world, our work and personal lives seem busier than ever. Our days are full of things you “have to do” vs “want to do”and the social media fills the airwaves with constant negativity. That is why participating in the outdoors provides the greatest escape of all.
