The leader of Coastal Expeditions was the company’s first employee over 30 years ago. He’s grown Coastal Expeditions to include several locations along the South Carolina coast, spanning from Cape Romain NWR south to Beaufort.  Since creating the Coastal Expeditions Foundation in 2018, the focus has been foundation-forward.
