Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I am available for deliveries, charters and am able to fulfill any role that requires maintainance, instruction and a positive attitude on board! I hold a USCG Masters license and a RYA Yachtmaster with a commercial endorsement for Power and Sail.

I grew up sailing Lasers and Hobie Cats and am the founder of the Loyola University Sailing Club. I have been a youth and adult sailing coach in the United States.

I work well with others and enjoy the variety of personalities that the sailing community attracts. I love sailing because of the unique and remote areas of the world that can be reached by the wind alone.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

Aloha! I have my MMC 25 ton with sailing and towing endorsements along with the ASA 104 and International Profenciency Certificate.

For non- US flagged vessels, I hold my RYA Yachtmaster Power and Sail with commercial endorsement. I have delivery experience between Hawaii and the West Coast OF the US. I have sailed the Hawaiian Islands and can safely navigate in heavy seas and weather aboard commercial and personal vessels.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengescareer changeearn moneyfinding myselfgain experiencelive off the gridsustainable traveltravel

I enjoy being outdoors and sailing. Most people in my age group are obsessed with the idea of money. I am obsessed with doing things that I enjoy. I want to crew on a boat because I enjoy achieving a common goal with my fellow crewmates. Being on a boat for a extended amount of time is something I really enjoy. Charters and deliveries give the real "feel" for sailing or being on the water. I want to be able to enjoy being on the water, but I don't want to be a tourist. I want to be a part of the boat and also help others. Sailing is a different way to meet new people and it is a job that I will remember forever.
