I have over 30 years experience working on boats varying from smallest yachts to the World's largest sailing barque "Kruzenshtern", where I served as a 2nd Mate. I crossed the oceans solo, in small teams and part of and in command of large crews. From 2011 to 2014 I made a solo circumnavigation on the yacht Hikari (C&C 35', 1972). My commercial experience includes both charters and deliveries. I have participated in multiple Regattas and races.

On a more personal note, I am a non-smoker and a healthy life style enthusiast. I am a former professional athlete (Boxing) and currently qualify as a Personal Trainer. I cook quite well and enjoy experimenting with various cuisines. I am highly organized and like to keep everything neat and clean. I thrive in a courteous and professional environment, but can also appreciate a relaxed comrade spirit of a tight crew.
