About this episode
Captain Malcolm Patterson discusses his deep roots and significant impact on the Gulf Coast community.
Captain Malcolm Patterson’s roots along the Gulf Coast run deep—and his impact on this area stretches across generations. From his time as a charter boat captain to serving as President of the Destin Charter Boat Association, advocating for fisheries, and becoming the first Executive Director of the South Walton Tourist Development Council, he’s been part of shaping this community in more ways than most people realize. In this episode, we sit down and talk through it all—from hog farming and seine netting in the early days, to the Korean War, diving, and how the Gulf Coast has changed over the decades.
