My journey as a writer started on the shores of Virginia Beach, where my father put a fishing rod in my hands at just three years old.
From that day forward, we cast for croakers and spot in the surf, and my mother would fry up the catch for dinner. At the time, I was sure it was the best meal I’d ever had.
A couple of summers later, my dad pushed me into my first wave on a surfboard. It took most of that July to find my footing, but I can still picture that first ride all the way to shore.
I’ve been a waterman ever since.
Over time, those experiences turned into something more than memories. They became stories.
From Catch a Florida Keys Grand Slam to the Virginia Beach Guide Series, my books are built on the people, places, and moments that shaped my life on the water.
Along the way, I paired a background in photography with a career in communications, but storytelling has always been the thread that ties it all together.
