I have spent thousands of hours sailing on Lakes in the Midwest but want to build hours on big water. To do so I'd like to assist with deliveries or crew passages. I feel that I easily qualify as competent crew for your boat but I recognize that there remains much that I can learn from a seasoned captain.

I’ve sailed the Med and the Windward islands. Most recently chartering a cat in St Lucia. I’m most anxious to help with general boat-work and with standing watch. As an added bonus I’m also a competent cook and bartender.

In my life on land I work as a Senior VP for a regional bank. I have a family who are supportive of my sailing goals. I hope to line-up a couple of these trips per season to compliment my lake sailing.

I love the challenge of trying to manage the boat to optimize speed and comfort of the crew. I appreciate the difficulty of being the captain so I work hard to be a supportive crew member.
