At the age of 27 I left upstate New York for a life on the water. At that time I had only seen the ocean three times. Having learned to sail on a ten foot wooden boat on a lake I headed for the Azores to work on a whale watching schooner. I spent the next several years working my way up to mate on charter yachts in the Caribbean and New England eventually taking the Captains position for eight years on a private yacht. During this time I also managed several major refits and one boat build from a bare hull. In subsequent years I’ve continued to deliver yachts and operate a marine carpentry business.

My most rewarding memories over the years have been helping others realize their dreams of spending time on the water. I look forward to putting my experience to work in helping you find the perfect vessel and make the most of your time on the water.
