Florida teams Eddie recalls personally training

  • FDLE
  • Hillsborough County
  • Broward County
  • Osceola County
  • Seminole County
  • Orange County
  • Winter Park

Eddie recalls training dozens of teams and supporting thousands of people through articles, web training and speaking. [FH01]

Family service and collision work

Eddie recalls the family mechanic garage and a full-time, family-run Cortes Towing service supporting FHP, city police, county sheriffs, first response and the community. He identifies Bob and Jaime Cortes as his uncles. Bob’s official biography records Cortes Towing and Cortrans business roles, Longwood public service and Florida House service.

[F14] [F15] [FH01]

Florida forensic training

Eddie reports personally training FDLE and teams in Hillsborough, Broward, Osceola, Seminole, Orange and Winter Park, among others. His account includes free remote support. Named rosters and counts remain to be recovered.

[F01] [S09] [FH01]

Nick Worrell and Atlantic Laser Scanning

Nick’s public profile lists a GO3D-issued training credential from August 2012. His July 2014 article describes his GO3D role and his own instruction of Florida CSI and traffic-homicide teams. Eddie remembers him as a friend.

[F05] [F06] [FH01]

The early IAFSM / SPAR community

The recovered 2007 agenda names Carl Adrian of the FBI and includes Technical Advisor demonstrations. Eddie recalls presenting and supporting early forensic teams; his individual presentation and the first-scanner purchase still need direct records.

[F02] [F03] [FH01]

USF: Travis Doering and Lori Collins

USF’s 2011 report describes its FARO training-center initiative. Eddie’s equipment and training support is presented here as his own account.

[F09] [FH01]

UCF, Tom McPeek and Agerpoint

UCF records McPeek’s virtual-city work in 2012. Eddie recalls supplying equipment and training that helped his start in agricultural scanning. The university and patent records do not credit that assistance.

[F10] [F11] [FH01]

David Dustin and the later FARO acquisition

Eddie recalls personally training and supporting David Dustin in Georgia. FARO’s announcement confirms the Adairsville firm’s acquisition on November 15, 2017. His personal training role remains a firsthand account.

[F12] [F13] [FH01]

Cortrans and GOEV

Family transport work connects this history to Eddie’s newer planning tools. Cortrans Route Lab is a GO3D planning demonstration; it does not confirm bookings or provide live flight status.

[F16] [F17] [FH01]

Osceola County: a surviving training-era video

FARO’s public interview identifies investigator Heather Mentzer and discusses preserving scenes for later review. Eddie recalls his consulting and training involvement. The checked transcript and sampled frames do not name him. Watch the original video and read its source notes.

[F07] [F08] [FH01]

Accident reconstruction, WREX and video demonstrations

The Visuals for Law + GO3D presentation brings together Eddie’s complete 2013 accident-reconstruction article, its original vehicle images, public WREX context and linked demonstrations. Historical examples supply background, not a new finding about a client’s incident.

[F21] [F20]

Sharing knowledge and finding a new direction

Eddie recalls giving free technical help through training, articles, web sessions and speaking. After later dealer relationships with FARO and Leica Geosystems, he describes time away from scanning to find a new direction. Exact contract dates and terms remain private research questions. His January 2013 public offer of free GO3D consulting survives.

05 / CAPT. EDDIE · THE OUTDOOR CHAPTER

A captain’s eye.
A life outdoors.

From fishing rainforest streams in Puerto Rico as a boy to running an outfitter on Canal Street and captaining the CANA offshore, the water has always been part of my story.

This is a record of businesses, guiding and community work from earlier chapters of my life—not an advertisement for active charters or public tour bookings.

2013–2015 / NEW SMYRNA OUTFITTERS

More than a tackle shop.

I bought New Smyrna Outfitters from the Tripp family, operated the Canal Street business, and sold it in 2015. We outfitted anglers for the flats, offshore trips and fly fishing, but the best part was bringing people together. The original August 2014 Grand ReOpening photographs document that chapter.

On April 11, 2014, the shop hosted the local Fly Fishing Film Tour alongside Capt. Brian Clancy’s Mosquito on the Fly III tournament benefiting Casting for Recovery. The original event listing names the shop as host and records the films, awards and giveaways.

2015 ONWARD / NSB FISHING CHARTERS & CANA

From New Smyrna to Islamorada.

I launched NSB Fishing Charters LLC in 2015 and ran offshore trips aboard the CANA. My working docks included North Causeway Marine, Fishin’ Cove and Adventure Yacht Harbor near Boondocks before I moved the charter operation to Bayside Marina at World Wide Sportsman in Islamorada. The precise dates of the individual dock changes are still being documented.

A July 2018 Daytona Beach tourism article describes CANA as a twin-engine, turbo-diesel Luhrs sportfishing yacht at Adventure Yacht Harbor. Historical guest reviews preserve the experiences of families and anglers who fished with the crew.

EXPEDITIONS & ECO-GUIDING / FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT

Guide people into the experience.

My outfitting and guiding work included trips in South Andros, the Caribbean, Costa Rica and South America, along with Florida fishing, camping, hiking and kayak excursions. Some were deliberately quiet nature outings with no phones or cameras; others explored bioluminescence after dark or observed manatees and dolphins by day.

These travels and guiding styles come from my firsthand account. Original itineraries, magazine issues and event photographs are still being collected; no specific dates or endorsements are implied.
