My background includes past owner of a Financial Services Company and Real Estate
Broker of New York and No. Carolina; with many years of a community service National
Scholarship Program. I’m an Army veteran, proud husband to Beverly, father and
grandfather. Upon becoming semi-retired we moved here to Sea Trail, Sunset Beach in
February 2022. I learned fishing as a Boy Scout and has been one of my joys in life since.
My favorite is big game fishing and most enjoy offshore trips. Upon learning of the Sea Trail Fishing Club I joined that month, as I wanted to learn about the 5 major fish that thrive here in the Intercoastal Waterway. I look forward to working with the STFC Board and help make the club flourish over the next few years. I’m excited to learn and fish this area, while making new friends and fellow anglers.

I was born in the foothills of western NC and grew up fishing the Yadkin River, Wilson’s Creek, John’s River and countless smaller creeks from Caldwell County to Asheville NC.

I spent decades as a firefighter at Patterson Fire Department, rising to the level of Assistant Fire Chief. I joined the Lenoir Police Department where I served as a patrol officer. I retired after being shot in the line of duty.

My wife and I owned and operated a horse farm for many years before selling it and moving to the beach. We love surf fishing and taking our 18′ bay boat out on the ICW.

I look forward to serving on the Sea Trail Fishing Club board.
