Aloha,
I am a very experienced blue-water sailor with over 16 years serious experience (over 2000 sea-days). I have approximately 104,000+ sea-miles and have raced or delivered yachts in the North and Mid-Atlantic, Caribbean, Mediterranean and North and South Pacific oceans, Coral Sea, Tasman Sea and Southern Ocean. We are just finishing up a 6,600 mile journey from Acapulco, Mexico to Newport,RI. The yacht is to be sold.
I have the typical boat related skill set of the all-around fix-it and project management nature.
I currently hold a 100 ton USCG Masters License. I am in the process of getting my RYA 200 ton Yachtmasters ocean license (celestial).

My passion for the sea is reflected in my performance on the yachts. As a project manager for over 15 years in the land development arena, my skill set has translated nicely into being a Captain and project manager of the yacht and racing program. I am an excellent chef as well, with over 25 years of culinary experience (12 years fine-dining experience in front room staff, bar staff and management). Having been racing in several high-profile one-design classes (Farr 40, NYYC Swan 42, Swan 45, Melges 32, etc.), I maintain myself in the best of shape and weight. I am keen on team-building and carry myself with a cheerful and amicable mien.
As well, I am articulate and people-oriented, able to joke and laugh with the marinaros at the Acapulco Yacht Club and then hit the boardroom for meetings and presentations with high-level corporate officers.
I speak passible spanish and struggling french.
My background and education is in commercial banking and real estate.
Depending on the situation, I have many waterman skills. Surfing, foiling, diving, spearfishing and fishing are all part of my heritage of living in Hawaii. I grew up swimming competitively for 11 years, along with being a lifeguard and trained CPR-type. I have continued to swim competitively on and off my whole life and have a current heartsaver's card with CPR and AED from The American Heart Association, as well as The American Red Cross.

Simply put, I love the ocean. The people who own and work on yachts, in general, are all sharing the same passion. We have gravitated to the sea and through our mutual bond, seek out others like ourselves.
