Born and raised in South Florida, Captain Michael has always had an unbreakable bond with the Everglades. As a child, while his friends ventured out to sea, Michael was captivated by the mysterious beauty of the wetlands. His adventures through these lush landscapes, from fishing to hiking, instilled a profound respect and love for this unique ecosystem.
After a decade in corporate sales, Michael embraced his true calling. He founded Epic Airboat Tours to share not just the thrill of gliding across the water, but to educate and inspire. With every tour, he delves into the rich history and vibrant wildlife of the Everglades, turning each trip into an immersive experience.
Captain Michael's commitment extends beyond tours. He is a fervent advocate for the conservation of the Everglades, passionately working to control invasive species like iguanas and pythons that threaten its balance. His efforts also reach the community, engaging local schools with educational programs that nurture young stewards of nature.
Married to Lindsay, his greatest supporter, and father to two incredible sons, Ryan and Liam, Michael's life is deeply rooted in the land he loves. Join him to explore the Everglades, learn about its wonders, and support its preservation. Experience the passion of a native who not only guides tours but is on a mission to safeguard his home for future generations.
