My name is Capt. Kevin Przybyl, age 29, I was born in raised in
Buffalo,
NY. My entire life has been amazing despite having Cystic Fibrosis; A deadly disease that I was diagnosed with at birth. My initial life expectancy was not good; if I was lucky I would live til I was in my teens. As you can see thanks to my parents’ dedication to keeping me as healthy as possible, I am still here today. Growing up with this disease was not easy, constant medications, and treatments throughout the day, got in the way of a normal life.
Despite that, I still was able to learn a lot from my Dad. My dad was a volunteer fireman and chief for our home town
West Seneca,
NY. So I was exposed to the great firehouse experience. It was that experience that made me decide to become a Paramedic. From the age 18 to 25 I dedicated every minute of my life to volunteering and working full-time as a paramedic.
Another passion of mine my dad taught me was fishing. He would take me out on trips and around the town fishing every year growing up. That taught me the basic knowledge to one day becoming a great angler. As I grew older, that passion grew as well I specifically had partners on the ambulance that loved to fish, together we would bring our rods and gear on the ambulance and fish in ponds or off the shoreline of Lake Erie.
About 4 years ago I married my beautiful wife Michele, and quickly decided that it was time to leave
Buffalo, so I could get better doctors and less cold weather, so
Orlando became our new home. Quickly after moving here I began a job at Walt Disney World as a bass fishing guide. There I learned all the techniques needed to be a guide and tournament angler. It was not long after starting at Disney I decided I wanted to start my own guide service and guide full time, so I took my Captains class and started this business.
That folks has been my life thus far, with more exciting things on the horizon.
