A passion for fishing began at an early age for Jackson. Born in south Florida, spending his childhood and much of his adult life fishing the lower keys, Jackson developed a love for inshore fishing and has been hooked on fly fishing since his first strip set.
Later, Jackson’s enthusiasm for the boating industry landed him a career at the largest single location boat manufacturer in the world, where he was charged with process improvement in the production lines, perfecting production from start to finish. Jackson has done work in every aspect of the boat building process.
Taking expertise from his early career, Backside Boatworks was envisioned by Jackson Pegg, a fourth generation boat builder, with the goal to produce a skiff built to last and customizable at a fair price to those looking to get on the water.
Jackson paid homage to the Florida Keys and his grandfather when seeking a name for the dream that became Backside Boatworks. His grandfather famously referred to the gulf side as the backside where the skiffs are commonly used chasing tarpon, bonefish, and permit throughout the flats.
