I grew in Alaska fishing, hunting, hiking, and yes a lot of boating. As an adult, a friend of mine took me out on a multi-day sailing adventure and I was HOOKED! Since then I've had three different boats trading up each time. Currently I own a Beneteau First 35s5. My boat is in Seward, Alaska and once the snow goes away, I am there every chance I get. I love sailing and teaching people how to sail. If you haven't had a chance to sail on Beneteau's line of First racer/cruiser boats, you are missing out. Somehow Beneteau has… more›

Since then I've had three different boats trading up each time. Currently I own a Beneteau First 35s5. My boat is in Seward, Alaska and once the snow goes away, I am there every chance I get. I love sailing and teaching people how to sail. If you haven't had a chance to sail on Beneteau's line of First racer/cruiser boats, you are missing out. Somehow Beneteau has made an excellent boat where it is just a comfortable to go out racing in 20knots of wind as it is to spend a week cruising the beautiful south central Alaska.

After a couple of years, I purchased a very fast 24’ Seawind Catamaran. I delivered it to San Diego from Newport Beach before realizing my true passion lies in the joy of cruising, not racing. This insight led me to a 42' Hunter and eventually a 46' Hunter.
Sailing vessels are my love, and I enjoy sharing that love with others. I promise to treat each vessel and student with the utmost care and love. Let my passion elevate your sailing experience.

The most common feedback I received from my students is "You are so calm and explain things in a simple manner to where it is easily understood. I believe though, that the experience of "doing" in many cases outweighs the explanation.
My focus is to empower first, educate second. Bring each student to a place of complete competence which leads to confidence! More importantly, it's all about the experience, and to have fun along with the feeling of accomplishing something beyond expectations.

All adventures come with risks. My goal is to teach you to get the most of your adventure while minimizing the risk. Sailing is about balance: the boat interacts with the wind and the waves and we must adjust the sails to maintain a safe balance. You will learn this. You will also learn when staying in port is the best option.
I have sailed in 1-knot winds & 60-knot winds; on 14-foot Sunfish and large monohulls & catamarans; in the Chesapeake, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Adriatic, & the CT coast. I have sailed on day sails and 39-day ocean crossing.

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… more›
