Bio
Laurel Schmidt was a contestant on the television reality competition Pirate Master, in 2007.
Born and raised in a middle class family in Detroit, Schmidt is a modern-day pirate and has been living out of her van in Venice Beach, California, with a friend and a dog.
She moves from beach to beach and campsite to campsite daily to stay out of trouble with the law.
Recently her van was impounded and she could not afford to get it out so she turned the title over to the tow company and came to Pirate Master.
Schmidt is a self-taught glass-blowing artist and uses these skills to sustain herself. She previously worked as a sales associate, waitress and with a moving company.
She graduated from Milford High School in Milford, Michigan.
She enjoys skateboarding, swimming, snowboarding, snowmobiling, tennis and dancing. Her favourite sport is lacrosse.
She describes herself as silly, hard-working and feisty.
