David Santini has been guiding in the Roaring Fork Valley for about 20 years now and started his guiding career on the Deerfield River in Massachusetts where he is from. Dave served our country in the Marines with 2 tours of duty in Fallujah, Iraq, and he volunteers regularly to guide in local Wounded Warrior and Project Healing Waters events. Dave is strictly a float guide and has a big personality that is full of energy. Don’t let all the good humor fool you—he is also very skilled at getting techie out there on the river and getting people into fish when it’s later in the season and the fish have seen it all. A self-professed streamer junkie who loves fishing for visuals and big fish on the big rivers. Depending on the time of year and section of water being fished, Dave uses either his Boulder Boat river dory or a raft with fishing frame. Fishermen are storytellers and Dave is absolutely one of the very best there is!
