A native of Florida, Captain Kirk has fished these coastal waters most of his life. Growing up in Southwest Florida he learned his techniques while fishing for Red Fish, Snook, Trout, Bone Fish and Permit in the bays, harbors and inland waterways of Miami.
In 1998, Captain Kirk gained employment with the North Fort Myers Fire Department, which brought him to the West Coast of Florida. After a couple of years of fishing and learning the waters, Kirk decided to fish professionally, and West Coast Fishing Charters was established.

He is asked to be a guest speaker at many boat shows, sport shows and training camps each year. He has made guest appearances on several top fishing programs, such as - TNN Great Outdoors, Young America Outdoors, Sunshine Network, etc. and for a 3 year stretch was the host of the Tech-Know Angler TV fishing show.
