Professionally, I call myself a sailor. It is the career that I've built.​

​

What exactly I do inside the world of sailing has been an evolving adventure. 

​

My experience is spread across tall ships and modern sailing yachts, day sailing tourist schooners and cargo carrying working ships in the Pacific. I have spent the last several summers captaining passenger carrying day-sailing schooners in Newport, RI, New York City and Key West, Fl, and my winters freelancing internationally crewing on yacht deliveries, and racing.

​

I love to race, and am always looking for the next opportunity. I don't have a dinghy racing background-- my first race was as topman on a 170' classic schooner yacht-- and so my racing experience is as varied as the rest of it; everything from classic yacht regattas like Le Voile de Saint Tropez to the St Barth's Bucket, the Caribbean 600 to weekly racing in Newport, RI. I love it all.

 

 I have sailed extensively in New England, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, the Florida Keys and the Pacific, and through the NW Passage in 2015. ​I am always keen to get on new boats, and in general always hungry to learn more, sail more, and become a better sailor.
