Object- To use skills and knowledge of fishing to obtain a job on a private sportfishing vessel as a mate

About myself- I am a 22 year white male that is currently living in the Florida keys,. I was a FF/EMT for Marion County Fire Rescue before moving down. I was able to follow my dreams to become a fisherman. I've been fishing for about a year. Not a long time but i have learned an incredible amount in a short time. I still have a lot to learn and willing to work hard. Able to travel at a moments notice.

Experience- I fished on a charter boat out of whale harbor called Heidi Baby for 8 months with Capt. Kerry "Zilla" Price. The boat was a 48' willis craft used for charter fishing.
