About
Started working for Tahoe Sport Fishing in 1990 as a deckhand for the original owner, Dean Lockwood. Seven years later, he and his wife, Shannon Shearer, purchased the business in 1997 and have been running it since then (with a little bit of help from their two kids who grew up in the family business).
