About US

I was born in a very rural part of Kentucky and because of that, I grew up loving everything about nature. My favorite shows as a kid we're always nature shows and when I was playing outside I would pretend to be Marlin Perkins from Mutual of Ohama's, Wild Kingdom or an explorer filming for National Geographic. My exposure to aquarium fish was very limited during that time. My Aunt's husband maintained a 20-gallon aquarium with community fish. I would see all the swordtails and mollies and would wonder why there was nothing like that in my local "crick" I played in. 30 years later I finally got to snorkel with wild mollies in Honduras so that was a scratch-off my Bucket List.

While stationed in the army in Germany. that was my first exposure to African Cichlids. These German Raised Africans impressed me with the colors a freshwater fish could have. I was hopelessly hooked.

I returned home and before I knew it, I was living in a one-bedroom apartment with eleven fish tanks. I joined the local aquarium club and within a few years became Vice President and then President. We met at a local pet shop that had plenty of room for our meetings and I ended up managing that pet store for approximately a year.

I moved to Florida after attending a pet industry trade show in Tampa. I visited the company I was buying fish from and they had just lost a salesman. A couple of visits and the job was mine. Some of my favorite memories in this business was working for the Florida Fish Coop. It was there I really got my first inside shot in this business.
