Level IV Captain Rank Qualified Sailing Instructor / Assessor

Adventure has always called to me. Whether it was traveling, diving, rock climbing, kayaking, motorcycling, or sailing a 17-foot day sailer along the Florida Gulf Coast, I’ve always found energy and inspiration outdoors. After leaving a long corporate career, sailing quickly became a huge part of my life again. In the last few years I’ve had the chance to explore amazing places like the Chesapeake Bay, Florida, the Leeward and Windward Islands, the BVI, Greece, California, Baja, and more—sailing with friends, crewing on deliveries, and skippering all kinds of boats. I’ve always loved teaching, especially that awesome moment when something just clicks for someone. Getting into sailing instruction has been the perfect way to combine my love for the sport with helping others grow. There’s nothing better than sharing knowledge and watching someone discover what they’re truly capable of. I'd love to help you figure that out, no matter where you're starting from!
