When he’s not busy with work, you will find him fishing with friends, cooking in the kitchen or over the pit, and spending time with his family! He has been working since the age of 15 and couldn’t think of a better way to spend his time than to create ways for Saltwater-Recon.com to make your fishing, boating, and outdoor life the best it can possibly be. “We have some very exciting features being built over the next year and we hope you love what you experience on our site.” -Schmidy
