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. 

 

After acquiring 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. 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 to go boating, fishing, and diving whenever I can.
