Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I own a 45' trawler and a 20' grady white fishing boat. I have sailed/raced j/30 sailboats including 2 World Cups. I teach on the water boat handling, I teach new OUPV, Master and Assistance Towing captain classes as a certified USCG instructor. I also teach and perform ABYC electrical and engine maintenance. I am a captain with Sea Tow which provides me with countless opportunities to handle many different types of vessels under various conditions. I am retired from a heavy travel corporate job in the scientific industry. I hold a degree in electrical engineering and prefer to DIY most of the maintenance work on my vessels.

Master 200 GRT as well as Towing Assistance endorsements as part of my Merchant Marine Credentials from the USCG. Additionally, I am a member of the USCG Auxiliary where I currently serve as a Vessel Safety Examiner for both recreational as well as charter vessels.
