Jared grew up in the Florida Keys and has been exploring the local waters & fishing before most learn how to ride a bike without stabilizers! Jared’s parents gave him his first skiff at age 7 & he has been hooked ever since. In fact he actually drove his boat to school everyday long before getting his first car.

Upon turning nineteen, Jared became a licensed Captain. His career and reputation have been established by winning many highly competitive tournaments and through the positive accolades he has received from clients and friends alike. Jared is most proud of his family, Katie & their two sons. Jared’s proudest professional achievement was winning the 2015 Gold Cup Tarpon Tournament. Through his knowledge and dedication to the sport, Jared hopes to create the same thrill that he experiences daily for each and every angler that ever watches the show, or steps onto his boat.

Jared has led anglers to more tournament victories than any guide his age. Other guides will tell you he has a “sixth sense” for finding hungry fish. Guiding over 300 days a year might have something to do with that. And now, twenty-some years later, Jared is co-owner of his second series, “Sail Kings”. Jared has hosted Silver Kings, sister show to Sail Kings for nearly 8 years & has had so much fun doing it that he thought it was time to explore the Atlantic with “Sail Kings” sharpening his talents while learning from some of the best off-shore Captains in the business.
