I began my maritime career running sportfishing yachts in New Jersey. While earning a degree in business management I developed my love of being on the water into an income by racing sailboats professionally and delivering yachts up and down the east coast.

I acquired my USCG Maritime License in 1983. My career led me up through the ranks to run boats up to 200. I have made multiple Atlantic crossings and captained yachts worldwide including the Baltic, Mediterranean, Caribbean, and both US coasts including Alaska.

After 3 years of cruising (spearfishing for dinner and drinking rum drinks) in the 1990s, my wife and I settled in the Cayman Islands where we lived for 15 years. We owned and operated Yachts Offshore, a service oriented yacht brokerage and management company for 15 years. We helped our international clientele purchase, sell, and operate yachts up to 200′.

I now live in St Augustine FL with my wife and two Australian Shepherds (Bean & Cali). I still love boating, fishing, and diving.
