About me

I have been a fisherman since the age of two. I received a degree in marine biology and worked in the seafood industry in Pennsylvania. I have been guiding anglers to faboluous fishing memories for over 30 years. My knowledge and passion for the natural environment in the Keys makes a trip with me a learning experience as well as an adventure.

A fun fact...

Due to my education in biology, I have a fascination with early marine science. I once owned an antique store called 'Ichthyophile', meaning 'Fish Lover'. My house displays hand colored fish prints dating back to the 1700s
