Duckworth Ambassadors

The statement that someone “grew up on the water” may require a bit of qualification but it certainly applies to Tom Nelson. Nelly’s father; HL Nelson -a legendary angler in his own right, bought a 26-foot Steelcraft at the inaugural Seattle Boat Show and that boat was Tom’s introduction to the operation, maintenance and design of heavy-gauge powerboat hulls.  

Anthony Marrese has been a voracious fisherman since day one. Born and raised in Bellevue, Washington, he has honed his skills as an angler in every season of life. At age eight he took an eight foot Livingston with a six horsepower Mercury two stroke out on Lake Washington every single day, because his mother said he had to be older than seven before he could have a boat with an engine. 

Corey Baker is the passionate force behind Kokanee Krew Outfitters, a premier fishing charter based in Heber City, Utah. As the owner and operator, Corey has turned a lifelong love for fishing into a thriving business that serves anglers on some of Utah’s most iconic waters.

Dan Myers’ life has always been defined by the water and a deep-rooted call to serve others. Raised on Henley’s Silver Lake resort, Dan’s passion for fishing began at a young age. Far more than just a hobby, his childhood was an immersive education in fisheries and conservation, where he actively helped raise trout and release them each spring.
