How did you get into boating and repair?

My grandparents had an old boat that almost never ran as it should and as a kid I was unable to help out with repairs. I fell in love with boating back then and over the years as a boat owner, maintaining my own equipment, I have learned how to repair just about everything without having to wait months for a dealer.

What was the first tool or part you bought from Marine Tech? 

AMT0004. It is the best tool on the market and made the job easy.

Tell us a bit more about what you're passionate about when it comes to boating.

I love saltwater fishing whether it's trolling for Mahi and Wahoo or bottom fishing for Black Seabass and Grouper. I enjoy cruising the coastal waters around Charleston with my friends and family. Recently, I have fallen in love with Duck hunting in the salt marsh. I love to talk about anything related to boats and boating.

Favorite place to boat and why?

The Florida Keys. The possibilities are limitless with offshore or backcountry fishing, diving and lobstering or just relaxing on a small Mangrove island sandbar.

What's your first memory of boating?

Learning to waterski behind my grandparent's boat.

What boat do you have?

Key West 2300WA.

What's your dream boat?

Pursuit 2870 Offshore.
