My Biography I was born in Key West, Florida in 1963 where I remained for 18 years. At 4 years of age I began fishing with my father who instilled in me his values, passion, and love for fishing that I still carry with me today. I moved to St. Petersburg, Florida in 1981 where I still reside with my wife and fishing buddy, Linda. I have been fishing the waters in and around Tampa Bay and the Gulf waters between Tarpon Springs and Sarasota for 14 years. I spend some of my time fishing the waters off Ft. Pierce, Pompano Beach, and the Keys and I truly believe that we have some of the very best fishing That Florida has to offer, right here in the Tampa bay area. I enjoy tournament fishing and blue water fishing for grouper and snapper. I enjoy teaching and working with kids, so bring the family with you on your next fishing trip. You'll be glad you did!
