| I'm 43, was born in Austria, and have lived most of my life in California and Hawaii. Now live in Park City, UT, started sailing in Santa Barbara, CA. I've been a lifeguard, paddled outrigger canoes, triathlete, owned a center console fishing boat, most sailing experience is on small boats...I have been surfing, paddling, and generally around the ocean for 25 years (lived on the North Shore of Oahu for 14 years) so i am very comfortable around the water. I now own a Catalina 26 in San Diego. I've been a restaurant owner for 20 years, so I know what it takes to run successful teams and work with others. Trying to gain as much sailing experience as possible, and currently own a seasonal restaurant which leaves me Oct thru April to commit to sailing. | |
