Mr. Faulkner is 29 years old and was born in St. Croix, U.S.V.I.

He grew up travelling with his mom between Florida and Anegada, until the age of 18 when he permanently settled in the British Virgin Islands.

In an interview Kelly said, “I enjoyed so much of the sea life and lifestyle that I decided to brainstorm for an idea to help bring attention to Anegada on a whole and also have a business that I could live and grow from. That business today is Kelly’s Land & Sea Tours. I am also owner of Anegada Concierge and StrongArm Construction. Having a business like Kelly’s Tours allowed attention to the island to expand.” Kelly takes visitors to Anegada gems like the picturesque Conch island.

He says, “My goal in life is to be able to leave behind a legacy and empire with generational wealth and prosperity for my family and fellow Anegadians. My philosophy is that you do not know until you ask! Living today is only preparing you for tomorrow.”

SISTER ISLANDEROF THE MONTH

MR. KELWYN “KELLY” FAULKNER

Buy promotional products that directly encourage green behavior. For example, instead of buying branded bottled water in disposable bottles -- a growing trend -- order branded reusable co�ee mugs or branded reusable water bottles. Not only will you avoid adding to the over 2.5 million plastic water bottles that are used by people in around the world, but your marketing message will be put in front of people's eyes for far longer, as your co�ee mugs and/or water bottles will be reused.

Over the course of his 11 years in business, Kelly has helped build Anegada as a tourism destination, while contributing to community e�orts like Community Clean Up campaigns, food delivery during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown, and collaborating with the Rotary Club of Road Town to get laptops for students in need for online learning. He plans to continue to give back to the Anegada Community, with a particular focus on the Sister Island’s youth.
