Dave Morel
Publisher, Marlin Group
Fishing has been a huge part of my life since I was old enough to cast a rod in a small boat with my dad. Once I got the taste of catching bigger game fish, saltwater fishing became my passion and being a part of an iconic brand like Marlin is an absolute thrill and honor!
Jen Dudas
Tournament Director, Marlin Group
My whole life I have been surrounded by water – boating, fishing, scuba diving, and swimming. I think saltwater runs through my veins! Running fishing tournaments, you get to see people doing what they love with friends and family. I have been fortunate to have traveled to some of the best and most beautiful fishing destinations around the world. Running Marlin Expeditions allows me to help people develop and grow their love of fishing. And I love that. It’s rewarding to see my former students competing and doing well in sportfishing tournaments.
Brandon Censky
Sales Director, Open Season Sportsman's Expo
The outdoors has consumed my life for as long as I can remember. My wife would tell you it is all I think about, and she would be right. I’m lucky to be able to bring my passion for the outdoors and incorporate it into my work every day.
Lacey Hagler
Assoc. Tournament Director, Marlin Group
Fishing, boating and diving have been my family’s source of fresh air and adventure for generations. I’m thankful for the privilege to witness the elation and comradery our participants experience with their own family and friends throughout the billfish tournaments we run.
Dan Stewart
General Manager, World Entertainment Services
I began my career as a professional water skier with Sea World and still have a passion for the sport, after 44 years in the field of athletic entertainment. Over the years Bonnier has provided and managed acrobatic performers at many theme parks shows across the country, and I’m glad to have been a part of bringing joy to so many thousands of faces during that time.

Andrea Winters

Working in the sportfishing industry has never been a job for me. It is a lifestyle and a life-long passion that chose me well before I chose it. I grew up immersed in and around the people and vessels that sparked many dreams that are now coming true as I join the Marlin team.
Natasha Lloyd
Publisher Emeritus, Marlin Group
Twenty-five years ago, I took the leap to Marlin. This gem of a brand exposed me to the thrill of the catch and the world of big game fishing. Here is my awesome sailfish from Guatemala - it took me 23 years to get there, but I did it!

I’m beyond excited to join the team, contribute to its legacy, and connect with a community that shares the same passion that I’ve had since I was young. This is an amazing opportunity.

I've been fortunate to have lived on the water for most of my life and I enjoy all kinds of water activities, along with travel. I have been in the event business for almost 30 years and I truly love it...it's exciting, challenging and always changing. I've been with Bonnier 20 years and it has given me the opportunity to do what I am passionate about, alongside an amazing team of like-minded, hard-working individuals that I am lucky enough to call friends.
Keeley Hemmel
Marketing Manager, Marlin Group
Growing up on the water, I was always surrounded by the sights and sounds of the industry, thanks to my father’s work. From a very young age, I knew I wanted to be involved in it. Straight out of college, I dove right into the industry I grew up in, bringing my passion and knowledge from my dad with me. For me, working on the water isn’t just a career, but a lifestyle, and I’m proud to continue the legacy while making my own mark.
Jack Vitek
Editor-in-Chief, Marlin
For more than 40 years, Marlin has been the definitive voice of big-game angling and synonymous with excellence. I’m honored, humbled and excited to join the talented team at The Marlin Group, where we will work to raise the bar on Marlin’s tradition of excellence as we promote the lifestyle, culture and passion of big-game angling.
Capt. Jen Copeland
Director, Marlin Expeditions
My passion lies in teaching the fine art of angling and fostering connections among offshore fishing enthusiasts. Fishing isn't just a sport for me; it's the foundation for a unique brotherhood that I cherish, and I couldn't be more pleased with a career that allows me to do what I love.
Melissa DeMonaco
Account Executive, Motorsports
I've been a lover of all-things outdoors ever since I was a Girl Scout. My passions are travel, biking, swimming laps, snorkeling, anything Peloton, and my new found love for pickleball. The hubs and I are California transplants now living by the water in Beaufort, South Carolina.
Cameron Rhodes
Editor-at-Large, Marlin
I’ve always loved telling stories, and to me, the most compelling ones are often born from outdoor experiences, whether in the field or on the water. Through my work as a photographer and writer with Marlin, I’ve been fortunate to help share the countless inspiring, harrowing and often comedic experiences of the vibrant people, places, and traditions that serve as critical cornerstones within sport fishing culture. It’s quite a ride, and I’m honored be part of this briny and wild community.
Corey Hillman

Growing up on the Gulf, I'm no stranger to weekends full of camping and fishing and summers spent on the sandy shores of the Florida Panhandle. At Bonnier, I get the opportunity to live that thrill day-to-day, connecting people with their passion for the outdoors and open waters no matter when they feel that itch for adventure.
