Russ Yocum, 40, is a former Coast Guard in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Russ was born and raised in Boise, Idaho, and spent two years serving on a ship in Seattle before moving to South Carolina and starting his family, which he adores. He lives with his wife and four children, three boys and a girl, and they spend almost every weekend boating off the beautiful shores of the Grand Strand area of Myrtle Beach — an arc of beach land on the Atlantic Ocean that extends more than 60 miles from Little River to Winyah Bay.
