Growing up in the keys spoiled me to say the least. I started fishing on my own when I was 10 years old out of a 12 foot jon boat and would take my friends out for fun after school. My summers were spent in Florida Bay chasing any fish I could catch. It wasn’t until I was a teenager that I had interest in fishing offshore, so on weekends I worked as a deckhand for several years up until my first summer back from college. After having so much first-hand knowledge on how the charter fishing business worked, I knew it was what I wanted to do. So I found time in between school to take my captain's license course, and to research the many facets involved in running a safe, steady, and successful business.
