Background
I’m originally from San Antonio but moved to Rockport after I graduated high school. I started my dream job working on boats and from then on I wanted to be the captain. I’ve been fishing my whole life, coming to port as a kid, and always going out on charter boats I decided that’s what I wanted to do.
