Captain Jayson joined the Coast Guard at the age of 17. While fishing in Pensacola, FL on vacation, he told his father that one day he will become a captain. To much of his surprise, life happened. An unforeseen work injury caused the captain not to do his work profession anymore. Captain Jayson made a decision to chase that childhood dream of becoming a captain.
