During season 13, Deadliest Catch cameras captured him slurring his words while working for another deckhand in Alaska. When the captain found his drug stash, he was fired. “All I ever wanted to do was be a fisherman, and I lost that,” he told Anchorage Daily News in 2017. “I lost the ability to work at sea because I forgot how to live on land.”

After being fired, he flew to Anchorage with $10,000 in cash, bought heroin, then bought a one-way ticket to Florida. Then, he went to a treatment center in Washington state. During the interview, he said that he’d been sober since that day — November 11, 2016.

In early May, he detailed his struggles in an essay for Chosen magazine.

“I was three overdoses into my addiction and a heavy alcoholic. My addict self was killing me and I was struggling to die,” he wrote at the time. “When I ceased to be an active addict I was drinking half a gallon of vodka, shooting two grams of heroin, and one gram of meth every day. My mind, body, and spirit were so diseased, I welcomed my own death, I was ready to die. A lot of addicts justify their drug of choice.

He credited getting sober to the show because he wanted to share that recovery is possible.
