What started out as a single father of a 3 year old, dressing up at Halloween to partake in the customary trick-or-treating event, Stu Hales impersonation of Jack Sparrow's character and persona was born. He began participating in costume contests that year, dressed as the infamous pirate and hasn't lost a contest since! He not only looks the part, but has the entire character's traits down to an art. He then began to branch out with his impersonation, by attending and participating in several events and festivals. And just to add a bit more savvy to this pirate, it doesn't hurt to mention that he also dives for real sharks teeth locally in the Venice, FL area, which he incorporates into very nice handcrafted jewelry that he sells at many of the festivals he attends dressed as Jack Sparrow.
