The ocean is my passion and I have been sailing since I was a kid. Starting in dinghies, I grew to become an Instructor eventually on Keelboats up to 50'. I have Captained week-long charters in the BVI, sailed across the Atlantic, and volunteered as Watch Leader with the organization S.A.L.T.S. on thier Square Tops'l Schooner in British Columbia. I have a USCG Master 100Ton Captains License and currently run day-charters on a 55 ft Catamaran in Santa Barbara, CA. In 2022 I sailed across the Atlantic and have lots of time underway at night. I am looking to do offshore deliveries, meet others in the industry, and learn and grow from my experiences. My favorite memory of sailing was the first time I got my Laser up on a plane. My favorite thing to bring on a sailing trip: A book, sunscreen, and the warmest beanie possible.
