Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Originally from New Zealand, I grew up working and living around boats. This included sailing, selling, maintenance, reparations and trouble shooting. With Bernard Roads as a teacher, a famous NZ sailor and boat builder, I had the opportunity to apprentice with him for over 7-years. Being self-motivated and versatile, I quickly began repairing systems on-board vessels, became involved in regular racing, offshore regattas as well as private deliveries as Skipper/Captain and skipper on a SWAN 65 (2022–2023)
Skipper on a 70ft Hanse 2023-2024, including project management’s for refits.
Racing Rolex cup and voiles de st Tropez as bowman and boat captain every year.
I hold my YM offshore commercially endorsed.
I have been managing several S/Y all year round and conducting major refits.
Having founded my company, I provide yacht management and project management.

I completed my H.S diploma in 2017 with the French Army and hold a degree in Automobile Mechanics Engineering & Electrical Maintenance. Afterwards, I moved on to the French National Maritime Academy studying Captain 3000-UMS of the period of two years.
I have many hobbies that I strive in and cherish such as: engineering, golf, photography, music and sports.

I excel in leadership, team motivation as well as i am able to learn quickly from others. I believe that versatility is very important in the maritime industry!
