Looking to build my resume to qualify for USCG Masters Certification. I am comfortable either working as crew, first mate or skipper. I have bare boat chartered as skipper Catamarans and monohulls in Croatia, Greece, Mexico, Belize, BVI & California. I also have my Mediterranean Sailing Lic. currently certified NauticEd Bareboat Charter Master Level IV with Catamaran Endorsement, This past year spent multiple weeks as crew aboard 59ft motor yacht delivery and cruising from Southern California to Sea of Cortez BCS Mexico.

I’m retired and looking to spend as much time traveling and on the water as possible. Born and raised in the Beach community of Dana Point, CA. The Ocean is my happy place. I've surfed my whole life and have worked as a Stand up paddle board instructor for the last 10yrs, I've been sailing on and off over the years but got serious about it 6yrs ago. I am a people person and get along well with a wide range of personality types.
I can and like to cook. I have a vast mechanical background with both petrol (gas) and diesel engines, including mechanical and some electrical systems. I am a trouble shooter and have no problem getting my hands dirty.
