4500 Fish Factory Road Southea…
Southport NC, United States

With 25 years of service in the US Army and a few more to go, I’ve found that fishing and enjoying it with others seemed to be almost therapeutic, so I decided that my retirement career shouldn’t be a job! I am very flexible, completely comfortable with a wide variety, from highspeed trolling for Wahoo to anchored up bottom fishing to stock the freezer.  Kid friendly and am also a certified Paramedic.
