I started in this industry the 1st day that the Jessup Market opened in February 1984. At that time I specialized in domestic crabmeat and was one of the larger shad dealers in Maryland. I closed my company in 2003 and went to work for JJ McDonnell as a buyer and a salesman. I attended Towson State University and Salisbury State majoring in business.
