In 2015, I sailed for the first time about a 38ft cruising catamaran as crew in the British Virgin Islands. I later took the US Sailing Basic Keelboat course on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, CA. I became heavily involved in amateur racing on small boats and cruising on monohulls and catamarans up to 45ft. In 2022 the Marine Corps moved me to the DC Metro area for service at the Pentagon. That summer, I became an instructor with DC Sail, where I coached US Sailing Smallboat on Flying Scots and racing Flying Juniors. In summer 2024, I started coaching Basic Keelboat at JWorld in Annapolis, MD. Later in 2024, I signed on with NauticEd as an instructor. As a Marine, I learned to love the joy of teaching and training others. Coaching allows me to combine the joy of teaching others with my passion for sailing. I love watching new students learn to operate a sailboat safely and effectively while they pursue their interest or dream of sailing.

Josh guided me to prepare for achieving the SLC license from the beginning well in advance of my trip with him in BVI. During the 7 days of sailing, he was always teaching, observing, and providing constructive feedback. He helped me to progress in my sailing experience and knowledge. I recommend him highly. He made learning fun and held me accountable at the same time.

Josh is a very professional and thorough instructor. He is very knowledgeable and skilled, and moreover, he has a great coaching manner and effectively communicates all the steps needed to complete all the drills. He is very friendly and a pleasure to work with. I really enjoyed my on-the-water session with him. Thank you!

Actually the best learning experience I've had on the water. It was a day of testing in which I learned as much as I was tested on. The nuance of boat handling is something Josh was able to explain in depth during the hot wash after testing. It was really a great experience.

Josh was great! It was a very sporty day and I did not scare him, which was good.
