Your captain
Tampa, Florida, United States
I started fishing as a young child and really enjoyed it, after six year tour in the Marines. I went to college to become a teacher, while I was working on my degree. I got my captains license and worked part time as a fishing guide. I fell in love with it and decided not to finish my teaching degree and I've been a fishing guide ever since. I'm going on my 23rd year of guiding
