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.
