I'm a lifelong sailor whose parents put me in a boat before a bicycle. I've owned and maintained a small sailboat for over 15 years. I worked at summer camps as the sailing instructor, American Red Cross certified. I hold various sailing school's chartering certifications. The most significant is "ASA 204 Bareboat Cruising Instructor". And, I've actively taught ASA courses from 2021 through 2024. Now, I'm 5-8 years away from retirement as a mechanical engineer. I wish to obtain a boat and operate a charter service into retirement. A sailing resume listing all the sea going trips I've taken can be emailed to you.

Since 2003, I've "Flipped" about 29 very distressed homes for profit. From that I've become very good at repair and restoration. I will properly do any job onboard, any hour of the day or night, for any reasonable duration, without hesitation. In early September 2019 I became "Skipper Qualified" for a 34 Catalina MKII in our sailing time share club. This means I am able to multi-day or week lease the S/V with my own crew. I also serve as the assisting Bosun.

I'm a divorced father of twin 20 year old's. I have liberal time off work and would crew alone.

I'm enrolled in random drug testing for commercial operations from "The Maritime Consortium, Inc" of Annapolis. And, can show my "drug free" result status certification upon request.

Certified Lifeguard, First Aid Responder, Advanced Open Water Diver (PADI).
One to two weeks is my ideal time away from work and kids. Three weeks is my absolute maximum. If you have a local trip near Annapolis, I'm interested now on the weekends.

I wish to hold crew positions in order to gain enough experience to skipper my own sailboat as a charter captain, someday.
