I feel
lucky to have grown up in the Florida keys, son of a commercial fisherman I spent many days and nights exploring the many
wonders that the lower Keys has to offer. Raised on Sugar-loaf key which is located between Key West and Big Pine
Key. Sugar-loaf was a magical place chalked full of adventures. as a young boy my summers and weekends were spent
on the Qwater fishing, diving, and exploring the many islands, channels, creeks, and waterways which make
up what is known as the Back-Country. with my younger brother (James) we would search for new
and better places to fish and dive always bringing home fish or lobster for mother to cook. as I became older I
began to broaden my explorations and was soon fishing and diving the Reef which was another magical place full of different wonders
and fascinating creatures. as a young man I held many commercial licence and spent the majority of my time fishing
and diving for lobster. in the early 90's I created reel easy charters and have been sharing my knowledge and experience
with others ever since. its a special feeling to call the Lower Keys home, this diverse Eco-system has and will forever be
a magical place to me.
