My experiences working on and around the water.

Born and raised in Coconut Grove Florida, I began sailing at the age of six, like everyone, in an Optimist. I quickly moved into racing one designs, keel boats, eventually working as a sailmaker and with a rigging shop as I continued to skipper and crew aboard a great many vessel from 420s up to a 72' Mini Maxi.  At the same time I developed a great passion for fishing, particularly with a fly rod. 

Fly fishing in canals, grew to chasing Bonefish, Permit Snook and Tarpon on the flats. It didn't take long for me to get the bug to go offshore, pursuing pelagics with the both conventional and fly gear.  I love putting friends and clients on fish, and spend a good portion of my leisure time poling the flats on my skiff. 

Fishing and diving (S.D.I. Divemaster) taught me very quickly to appreciate the ease of which a power vessel gets you where you want to go. I've since had the pleasure to master several motor yachts, including the 36 meter (120Fft) 297 GT Feadship that I’ve served aboard since 2022.  
​

With over 50,000nm while licensed and several thousand prior to making a career of it, I have numerous trips up and down the eastern seaboard of the United States from Bar Harbor, ME to Key West, FL. In 2025 I crossed the Atlantic, through the straights of Gibraltar to Italy, with multiple port calls on the voyage.

Florida's East Coast- Both offshore and via ICW, so much of what Florida has to offer along a coast choke full of history and welcoming communities. The Keys will forever be my go-to weekend get away, with incredible sites for nearly all water activities. These are the waters of my childhood, an amazing place to create memories.

USVI- my lockdown adventure. I was Captain of a Voyage 580 catamaran, and ran term (5-7 day) charters during the pandemic, a beautiful venue for sailing, diving and snorkeling. 

With the Feadship I spent several summers based in Newport, Rhode Island and cruising New England, including calls to NYC, Sag Harbor, Boston, Several towns in Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, extensive cruising in Penobscot Bay, Maine. Currently based in the South of France, I’ve very happy exploring the Riviera with the yacht’s new owners.
