Meet The Captain
I am proud to be a South Florida local. While growing up on the South East coast in Fort Pierce I would always fish with my childhood friends or my Dad. I can remember like it was yesterday my Dad telling me come on son get up its time to go. I would set out on my mission loading the boat with buckets, rods, food, drinks, and anything else I had instructions not to forget. On the water it would be a day of training, how to rig a bait, how to drive the boat, the proper speeds needed for what species of fish, and much more about how to handle the water and the responsibility that comes with it. After, that would be the worst part, it meant it was time to clean the boat. However these repetitive skills that I learned over and over laid the foundation that I needed. I then used this foundation to achieve my United States Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Credential. AKA - Captains License. And I will forever be grateful for the influence of those that helped me along the way.
Today, I wake up to my alarm and I start another day loading the boat and going through my checklist just like I did when my dad and I would get ready to go fishing. Therefore, I have been training to be a Guide my entire life. I find comfort in the fact that being a Charter Captain has always been my true calling. I am a very blessed person to get to do what I love everyday. That is why I cannot wait to share my love of the outdoors with you. Let's experience all Florida has to offer!
