Captain's Bio

I was born in Hawaii, and Manatee County has been my primary residence since I was a year old. I grew up fishing the local waters and competed in several tournaments, winning a few of them. I worked as my father's first mate through high school and then spent four years in the US Marine Corps. I was able to fish off the coast of North Carolina while stationed at Camp Lejeune and obtained my US Coast Guard Captain's License before leaving the military. Taking people fishing is my passion, and I appreciate the opportunity every time I see my customers' smiling faces as they reel in the big boys!

Captain's Bio

Although I was born in Chicago, Illinois, Manatee County has been my primary residence since before my first birthday. I served six years in the US Marine Corps, where I was given the opportunity to fish in locations such as the Gulf of Honduras, the Persian Gulf and off the Island of Oahu. In the year 2000, after returning from the military, I received my US Coast Guard Captain's License and started running fishing charters. I have participated in many tournaments with several top ten finishes and one first place in a local Redfish tournament. I started fishing the waters around Tampa Bay in the early seventies with my late father. It was his love for fishing that made me realize it was an occupation that I wanted to pursue from an early age.
