Career
An avid fisherman, Tougias became a self-syndicated outdoors writer in 1990 while managing a division of a major insurance company. He published the first of 25 books in 1998. He travels to more than 100 small and large speaking engagements a year to discuss his books and other topics, including "Survival Stories," lessons learned from those who were shipwrecked.
