BIO:After narrowly completing Finishing-School in Coronado, Quint followed his passion and traveled to the exotic tropical islands off of Africa in the Indian Ocean to learn the lost art of inland lobster farming. As Quint would later tell Time magazine, "They are mean, rotten, aggressive creatures." Quint accounted that their aggressiveness was the main reason that throughout history, inland lobster farming had never taken off as a profitable or even practical venture, explaining that once they reached a certain size; the cannibalistic lobsters would turn on each other without provocation, ready for their next meal. By the age of 17, Quint had triumphed above all odds and displaying a preternatural gift for communicating with captive lobsters, rewrote every book on the subject, eventually being coined the Lobster Whisperer. Amidst all his success and accolades Quint once again grew restless and longed for another adventure. On the eve of his 18th birthday, emboldened by rum, Clint signed a contract with the Maldivian Merchant Marines. Quickly learning that, much like his father he lacked sea-legs, Clint broke his contract, jumped ship and wandered the Seychelles with a bounty on his head for the remainder of his teen years - working the spice trade and studying linguistics. By the time he was 21, Lady Luck smiled on Quint once again and he made quite a name for himself as a distinguished yet ornery yacht broker. This was not to last, and after following a bad tip from an old Cuban friend and doing a small stint in an Antiguan jail on trumped-up charges, Quint made his way back to Coronado Island. In Coronado he was reunited with childhood friends JR Caribe and Marc Lee Miller and tried his luck in the treacherous yet lucrative financial waters of Southern California in the early 2000's. After following the ebb and flow of the markets he has since settled down to a relaxing life surrounded by friends and family with a small bed and breakfast in Cape Canaveral.

- A PIECE OF ADVICE FOR THE KIDS:You won't believe how fun things can get once you turn 25. So don't do anything to screw up your life before then. Nothing is worth it and you can't imagine how fun life can be if you set yourself up the right way while you're young.
