I have been an avid outdoorsman for as long as I can remember. My love for angling began in Lake Mead, Nevada, catching largemouth bass with my family. I was born and raised in Las Vegas then moved to Flagstaff Arizona in 1984, a mere two hour drive from my beloved Lake Powell. Traveling to Page AZ and fishing Lake Powell came often with plenty of family and friends who shared the same passions surrounding this magical lake. Living two hours from the hub of The Grand Circle only heightened my love for the outdoors. Countless days of fly fishing Utah’s back county, bass fishing Arizona’s lakes and hunting public lands has given me more than just knowledge and experience, It has blessed me with respect for the outdoors. Safety for you and your family is always top priority, with catching fish a close second. Becoming a fishing guide has only increased my dedication for finding fish and guiding on Lake Powell.
I have been in the construction industry since the early 1990’s. I was lucky, to work with my Dad, brother and friends who share the same love of the outdoors with me. We have owned many boats throughout the years, all that have seen plenty of fishing action. I feel I have gained the knowledge and experience to provide you and your loved ones a quality and safely guided fishing adventure in Glen Canyons beautiful Lake Powell.
My Grandparents moved their family of 8 to Page Arizona before there was a Page Arizona. They doubled the population of this remote local. There was no Glen Canyon Dam and no Lake Powell, there was only Black Brush and sand. Grandpa Johnny and Grandma Mary knew that the construction of Glen Canyon Dam would bring a town in it's wake, so they opened a gas station and waited like prospectors for the boom to happen. Eventually the town of Page grew around them and Grandpa Johnny's station became a fixture. My Dad and uncles checked fluides, air pressure, and filled tanks at the full service station that sold Water Dogs and Ice to the fisherman that were headed to the lake. They watched Powell slowly fill and become the gem it has become. I was born in '71 and my parents raised me in the emerald waters of Lake Powell. I have 3 brothers, 2 sisters, 4 nephews, 3 nieces, and 22 cousins and all of them love to spend time on the Lake. I was born in Page AZ on the banks of Lake Powell and I will die here. I have fished, hunted, hiked, rafted, climbed, photographed....etc here ever since. My life has been spent exploring the unending possibilities that Lake Powell country has to offer. I obtained a Biology education at Northern Arizona U and promptly used it to get a job as a Grand Canyon White Water Guide. Along the way I taught myself to play guitar, write songs and take pictures. I guided river trips in Glen/Grand Canyons for eight years and then stumbled into teaching. I now teach Photography at Page High School and coach Wrestling. In the spring of '08 I fulfilled a lifelong dream and bought Bubbas Guide Service from my good friend Jim Cliburn and renamed it This Side of That Guide Service. I believe that we have created a business that is built on the foundation of quality customer service. I promise that there is no other guide business on Lake Powell that cares more deeply about your experience than This Side of That.

Born in Las Vegas, Nevada, I grew up fishing, playing, and getting my love for the water and outdoors on Lake Mead and the many streams in Utah. My family moved to Flagstaff, Arizona in 1984 where my love for the outdoors only grew stronger. After graduating high school, I went on to earn a bachelors degree at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Through my years growing up in Flagstaff, I was only a couple hours away in either direction from some of my favorite bass fishing lakes and only minutes away from the local lakes, forest and mountains. 
I have aunts, uncles, and many cousins and friends that have lived in Page, AZ, so growing up I spent summer vacations visiting Page and Lake Powell. I have been visiting, fishing and boating on Lake Powell ever since.
I am married to my wonderful wife Karrin and have three kids, Samantha, Jakob, and Michael. My family shares the same love for the water and outdoors as I do, so we spend the majority of our free time fishing, camping, and hunting. Raising my family with the love and respect of the great outdoors follows a tradition that has been handed down to me from my parents and grandparents.
Now, I have a great opportunity to join my brother and good friend to do what I love, spend more time outside and on the water at Lake Powell. I am positive that we can provide a great and memorable day on beautiful Lake Powell for you and your friends and family.
