I was fortunate to be born and raised in Jupiter, Florida, which is one of the best fishing hotspots in the world. I had a rod in my hand by the age of two and an insatiable appetite for fishing. Growing up close to the Jupiter Inlet, I developed a love, and appreciation for the ocean and all of the amazing creatures living in it. I spent my whole childhood fishing, with family, friends and professional fisherman. The vast and diverse ecosystems of this area always fascinated me and I knew that I wanted to spend my life learning more.
