Vincent Bini

Vincent Bini is a lifelong outdoorsman and retired firefighter/paramedic with 28 years of service. After decades navigating Florida’s backcountry waters, he now splits his time between writing, running fishing charters, and getting into just enough trouble to write about it. His debut book, The Glades Are Trying to Kill Me, captures the absurdity and danger of life on the water — much like the stories he continues to tell, drawn from over 30 years of chasing fish and weathering the wild moods of Florida’s backcountry.
