🎣 For combat-wounded Veterans, time spent in the great outdoors through therapeutic and adaptive sports like hunting and fishing can provide healing, camaraderie, and a renewed sense of purpose. Today on the WWIA Podcast, WWIA Founder and CEO, John McDaniel, is honored to welcome one of the most respected names and an expert in the outdoor industry, Captain Tom Rowland.
From his early days fishing alongside his father in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to guiding on the legendary rivers of Jackson Hole and the waters of Key West, Captain Tom Rowland has built a remarkable career fueled by hard work, determination, and a relentless passion for the outdoors. A world-class angler, accomplished tournament competitor, fly-casting champion, and health and fitness enthusiast, Tom has also become a pioneer in outdoor media as the creator and host of the long-running television series Saltwater Experience, Into the Blue, and Sweetwater. Of all his accomplishments though, none mean more to Tom than being a dedicated husband and father.
Beyond television, Tom’s passion for education and mentorship continues through the wildly successful Tom Rowland Podcast +, where he shares conversations and insights with some of the most respected voices in the outdoor world, leadership, and living at your highest level. Today, he joins us to talk about fishing, family, perseverance, being a good guide, and the life-changing impact the outdoors can have on all of us—especially our Nation’s combat-wounded Heroes.
