Conrad Gelber

Off the clock

Conrad in a cap and sunglasses holding a snook across his chest on the deck of a boat, with calm water and a mangrove shoreline behind him under a clear sky.

I pitch for the varsity baseball team at Miami Beach Senior High. I shoot trap at Markham Park in Broward County, where my best round so far is 21 of 25. And I fish the Everglades backcountry and the Biscayne Bay flats for snook, tarpon, and redfish, all of which go back in the water.

When I have ten minutes, I play one of the games I built.
