As a youngster the Cape’s beaches, bays, harbors, flats and estuaries were my playground.

My Story
I started fishing Cape Cod when I was 5 and have been hooked ever since. I have my Dad to thank for that. We fished for years out of a 12 foot aluminum skiff powered by a 6hp.
We chased stripers, bluefish and even tuna in that thing.
By high school my Dad had upgraded the boat and I was commercial fishing for striped bass every summer. I made a little money and absolutely fell in love with the lifestyle.
At age 16 I was spending full moon nights afloat on a dark Cape Cod Bay, alone as my Dad slept in the cabin.
I experienced so much during those years. We caught fish, rescued whales and learned that on a boat a 5 gallon bucket is a completely legitimate bathroom.
I then set off to college in Worcester and somehow ended up in Cairns, Australia. Throughout it all I kept coming back to Cape Cod each summer to hang out on the beach, commercial fish and eventually run striped bass fishing charters.
In 2011 my grandmother Loretta passed away, so my Dad and I did what we felt was right. We bought a boat and named it the Miss Loretta.
I ran striped bass fishing charters and helped people experience the best fishing of their lives. I met a lot of unforgettable people and caught a lot of big fish.
Not too long ago I made a choice to pursue what I love, and somehow I’ve ended up here, writing to you.
In this life all things are possible, as long as you never give up.
Tight lines and take care,
