Your captain
Stock Island, Florida, United States
I spent most of my life in Key West fishing the local waters. After high school, I enlisted in the Army to gain life experiences and serve my country. In the Army, I specialized in Heavy Vehicle Maintenance and was part of the 101st Air Assault unit in the Middle East. After doing my 4 years in the Army, I decided to use my GI Bill back in Key West, studying Marine Engineering, which is where I got my Captain's License. My Dad is a charter captain along with my brother here in Key West. I started mating for my dad on his offshore boat and decided to make a go on it on my own. I have worked for two different charter fishing companies, which taught me some great ways of fishing, leading to my fishing style. I enjoy the shallow water fishery here in Key West because there is always something to catch. My passion is to fish with the next generation of fishermen and teach them all about the fishery here in Key West. I love fishing with beginners and kids!
