| I am looking for an opportunity to sail and learn while enjoying new parts of the world. First sailed in 2020 and was certified for bareboat charters up to 34'. That was all it took to hook me on what the next adventure was for me. My degree is in education, but have spent more time in sales. Married and father of six. Also, a cross country/track coach. Friendly, flexible, and follows direction well. Most of my experience is on Lake Superior with having sailed some in the Gulf of Mexico as well. Looking for adventure, learning, and new friends! | |
