Through his incomparable willpower and determination, David has become well-known across the fly fishing industry for his obsession with tarpon. Few would argue that he is among the most elite tarpon guides in the world. But some might not know that he is also an exceptional artist, photographer and videographer. When he’s not chasing fish with a fly or a camera, he can be found with his family in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.
