With over a decade of Alaska guiding experience including seven summers on the Kanektok, Ben joins Aleutian Adventures for his first season on the Sandy. He’s drawn to Alaska for its wild rivers, lifelong friendships, and the kind of fishing that sticks with you. At home in Virginia, Ben manages land by day and chases smallmouth on the James River with his wife Britt, their twin daughters, and their dog Geo. Whether he’s guiding clients into kings or growing tomatoes in the garden, Ben lives life close to the water—and wouldn’t have it any other way.
