Background
I was born in a small town in New Jersey near the Jersey Shore, where fishing and hunting were in my blood from an early age. Growing up, I spent more time on boats than in vehicles, and I always knew I wanted to live on the water. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Wilmington University and later obtained my USCG Captain’s License. After a fulfilling career in law enforcement, I retired and moved to Venice, Florida, with my wife, Danni, and our daughter, Meadow. From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with the area’s natural beauty and vibrant waters. Now, my passion is sharing the incredible experiences that Venice and its surrounding waters have to offer. There’s no better way to explore this paradise than out on the pristine waters of the Gulf. Whether you’re looking for a scenic tour, an unforgettable sunset cruise, or a chance to see local wildlife up close, I’m here to make your adventure one to remember. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to meeting you and showing you the best of Venice from the water!
