He’s the captain of the FV Cornelia Marie, a role that’s brought him into the spotlight on the Discovery Channel’s hit reality series Deadliest Catch. Before he took the helm, he actually started out as a deckhand during the first six seasons of After the Catch, working his way up through the ranks. Being part of the fishing world runs in the family—his father was none other than Phil Harris, the beloved former captain of the Cornelia Marie. Over time, he stepped into big shoes and made a name for himself, proving he’s more than just following in his dad’s footsteps. Now, as captain, he commands respect both on deck and on screen, continuing the legacy while forging his own path. His journey—from deckhand to captain—shows dedication, grit, and a deep connection to the Bering Sea. And whether he’s battling storms or managing crew dynamics, he does it all with the kind of resilience you’d expect from someone born into the life. The captain of the Cornelia Marie isn’t just a title—it’s who he is.
