I'm a native Floridian, Army Veteran and lifetime fisherman. My Dad took me fishing with him when I was barely big enough to cast & reel! We shared a passion for fishing and I was able to do the same with my 2 sons. Now as a charter Captain, I get to share it with people of all ages and backgrounds from all over the world! In April 2002, I started Big Game Charters, LLP. in NC. Our goal is provide 110% customer service on every charter. I am very competitive and want to catch the most, and the biggest to fill the cooler.
