Member since June 2023 Tavernier, United States
Background
Originally from Indiana, I moved to Islamorada in 2018 chasing warm sunshine & fishing dreams. Learning the ropes on head boats & private charters as a mate. Naturally, I took the next step of becoming a Captain & running my own charters. The amazing fishing, places, people, wildlife & beautiful waters make the keys my island paradise. I try to share those vibes with folks who join me on the boat. Any day out on the water is a day to be treasured.
