As a native south Floridian, I grew up with my family enjoying the outdoors. Whether it was going to the Everglades in our swamp buggies or airboat, or cruising to the Florida Keys in our boat, fishing the flats, snorkeling, and all the other things that Florida has to offer. Being such an avid outdoorsman and animal lover, it was only natural that I followed in my father‘s footsteps in the family business as a second generation Farrier. I have a beautiful wife of 15 years, a beautiful daughter, who loves the outdoors and animals probably more than I do and a handsome, smart son that is just coming around to fishing. We currently live in Palm Coast, Florida.
I started kayak fishing around 2012 when I watched my first episode of The Kayak Fishing Show with Jim Sammons. Immediately, I was hooked on the different places kayaking, and kayak fishing could take you! It took a little while to get my first Jackson Kayak, but ended up with a Cuda 14 that I still own till this day, along with a Big Tuna, Coosa HD, and my pride and joy, my Bluesky Boatworks Angler 360! I really enjoy fishing the flats and the back marsh with it!
After meeting Bridgett, Jameson, Charlie, Will, Jim, and some of the other amazing people with Jackson Kayak at iCast 2022 it was a no-brainer on where I wanted to belong! Their motto “We are Jackson Kayak” is true to the core with people like Dustin Nichols and the others, which made me feel like part of the team from day one! I am truly and forever grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to meet more teammates and people in the industry! I’m truly blessed and this is a dream come true!
