A military brat upbringing at US Air Force bases in Japan, Germany, Alabama, Texas and Florida, I'm presently domiciled in Clearwater, Florida. My background involves security, including serving as Director of Investigations for Marriott Security Services, owning a three-office security agency in Miami, contract work for the government involving Eavesdropping Detection, and Mystery Shopping for hotel chains, restaurants and cruise lines.

I'm still a licensed P.I., but most of my attention these days involves journalism and the media. That career includes stints as Managing Editor of Florida Sportsman magazine, Editor of Sport Fishing magazine, Editor In Chief of Traveling Sportsman magazine, a columnist for newspapers, host of a syndicated radio talk show, host and producer of two cable TV series, blogger for Visit Florida, a video producer and more recently a travel writer for a variety of publications.

My first book: "Florida's Fishing Legends and Pioneers" (published by the University Press of Florida, 2011). My second: "Alaska's Greatest Outdoor Legends" (published by the University of Alaska Press with circulation in the Lower 48 by the University of Chicago Press, 2016).

My newest book: "Dirty Trickster, Corporate Spy (published by Strategic Media Books, 2018) is under my name of Martin D. Kelly (Douglas is my middle name).
