I was born in Southern New Jersey where I spent most of my time locally bass fishing or down the shore on my favorite head boat catching blackfish, sea bass, and flounder. This is where I was introduced to the parasailing crew of Ocean City, NJ. At 20 years old, I decided to take a chance of a lifetime working on a parasail boat in St. Thomas, USVI. That was the beginning of my 20 year parasailing career which allowed me the opportunity to travel, work, and live in some of the top tourist destinations in the Western Hemisphere. All the while, my passion for fishing never faded. I was lucky enough to spend years fishing in Key West, South Florida, Hawaii, and everywhere in between. Now I find myself opening a new door upon the “Sol Searcher” and love waking up every morning knowing I can share my love of the ocean with my guest. Whether it is fishing for pelagic fish offshore, dropping anchor on a sandbar, or just cruising the ICW enjoying a beautiful sunset, the ocean will always be my first love!
