Member since April 2025 Shalimar, United States
Background
Long time local, I was born and raised in the Fort Walton Beach Area. I am currently employed as a Firefighter/Paramedic and previous beach lifeguard in the local area. I was raised in the Bayous of Choctawhatchee Bay. I was gifted a John Boat for my 8th Birthday. Paddles only did the trick for so long until I bought a trolling motor and then a 9 hp Johnson. In 2010 I took a freedive course and fell in love with the sport. The only problem was I needed a boat to get to the 60' spots to shoot red snapper. Fast forward to 2018 I met the girl I would marry. She took the freedive course, passed, and said, "We need a boat." We purchased a 2012 Sea Hunt 21' Center Console. I fell in love, with the girl and the boating lifestyle. In the fall of 2024 the boat was upgraded to a 2008 26' Glacier Bay Catamaran. At Adrift adventures we want to get you ON the water to experience all of what this area has to offer. We believe in a laid back lifestyle offering epic reef snorkeling, chillin at Crab Island, or getting off the beaten path to explore the secluded beaches. With the knowledge I have gained over the years, I guarantee that you will have a blast booking your trip with us on the water!

Being on the boat with my family is the most epic time. We enjoy swimming, some light fishing, and just being together.
