I’m a proud son of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, born with saltwater in my veins and a deep love for the sea. My early days were spent running commercial fishing, shrimping, and oyster boats—learning the ropes the old-fashioned way. Later, I took that passion to the next level by joining the U.S. Navy, where I earned a formal education in shipbuilding, working on everything from naval vessels to luxury yachts. After years of life at sea and under the water (yes, I’m also a certified recreational and former commercial diver), I knew I was destined to turn my love for the water into something more personal and rewarding.
