Bio

Introduction:
My father is a hero. He started his seafaring career at the tender young age of 14 years old. He first destination was to The Mosquito Keys. He went to help support his parents and five younger siblings. The first boat he went to sea on was named The Adam which was captained by Captain Ali Ebanks also from West Bay. The boat was an all West Bayer crew. That was the first of many trips to come. By the time he was 18 he had travel around the world several times. He lost his father and was married in the same year at the age of 19. During the following years he himself started a family of four children but, he continued to support his mother and disabled brother for many year's. He sacrifice being with his wife and children to support them all. My father didn't even get to see some of his children for almost a year after their births. His strength and dedication was unparalleled. The wisdom and knowledge he brought back home years later and shared with many others including his children was worth more the silver or gold.
