Autorenporträt
Wayne Brown's passion for adventure can be traced back throughout his childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. Whether as a member of the U.S. Air Force or as a boy growing up on a small farm in an even smaller town in Florida, Wayne has always enjoyed an experience-driven lifestyle. Upon being honorably discharged from the USAF, Wayne went to work at Taco Bell Corporate and eventually worked his way up to owning more than 60 Taco Bells. Wayne decided scuba diving might be an activity that he and his son and daughter could enjoy together. What started as a fun pastime quickly became a passion. He has always been an enthusiast of service-oriented businesses and after two trips as a customer on Aggressor Fleet liveaboard dive yachts, he was hooked on liveaboard diving and the company's commitment to service. Wayne purchased Aggressor Fleet in April of 2007 and subsequently purchased the next largest fleet, Dancer Fleet, in March of 2008. Expanding the scuba diving business each year, he rebranded the company to Aggressor Adventures in 2018 when he added River Cruises and Safari Lodges to the offerings. Aggressor Adventures has become the largest adventure travel company in the world offering 5-star adventures. The company has many accolades to its credit, including making the Inc. 5000 list, receiving five Telly Awards, and being recognized with multiple Magellan awards and SCUBA Diving Magazine Readers' Choice Awards.Despite his demanding schedule, Wayne is still an avid adventurer who makes it his mission to travel the world with his customers. He has earned prestigious distinctions as a Platinum Pro 5000 Diver, Nikon Professional Services Member and SSI Instructor Trainer and a PADI Staff Instructor. When he's not traveling or diving, Wayne is in Augusta, Georgia spending time with his family.
