El Capitan
Hello it is I Chris, a.k.a. El Capitan! As a native South Floridian, there is a difference, born in West Palm Beach. I have been indoctrinated into the Miami Dolphins lifestyle and culture since the time of birth, all 37+ years of age.
Never living more North than Saint Augustine. My entire lineage dates back to the early 1800’s to the great state of Florida. Playing Pop Warner Football at Lake Lytle Park and high school in Palm Beach County, I idolized and emulated my Miami Dolphins heroes while I was on the field. None more importantly, than Zach Thomas. Remembering the good all days of the feared Miami Dolphins throughout the NFL and seeing some of the hard times we’ve had since then.
Now, as things begin to look up towards a brighter future, I only hope that my kids get to experience the great Miami Dolphins, and forged their own memories with them as well with all the passion I have about the NFL and Miami Dolphins. With all the great friends I’ve made over the years that are Miami Dolphins die hard as well, I decided I needed a place to put it all.
Thus began the start of an idea. An idea of a digital tailgate. One reminiscent of a time at Miami Dolphins games back at Joe Robbie stadium. The trash talking amongst Dolphins Fan’s with the visiting team. Throwing the football around having a few beers, some good food and some heated debates. Debates about our football team amongst ourselves , or amongst the visiting fans on why we would win. Those were the days I remember with my father and with my grandfather. Those are the days I wish to continue. Those are days I want you guys to have. Those are the days I want to have with my kids. At a time where we are closer together yet further apart, this idea was brought to life. “The Fins Tail Gate” a digital tailgate. “The tailgate party the never stops”.
Along the way, I found like-minded individuals, Old friends, and new ones. To help create we hope to be the best digital tailgate of all time. The only one.
