From San Pedro, California, growing up on the start line of the TransPac, I have branched out from a humble youth sailing Tall Ships on the East and West coasts to having raced and delivered high performance maxis, J-Class and super yachts over a 20 year career, accumulating over 200,000 blue water miles all around the globe. I have sailed with and learned from the best America's Cup and Volvo sailors, and have a deep respect and knowledge earned over a lifetime's dedication to the sea. I have competed in 2 Bermuda Races, 1 Sydney Hobart and 4 Middle Sea Races, winning the Overall on Elusive2 in 2019.

I've been sailing since I was a child, mostly family cruising (with a side of fun racing) in Maine & the Caribbean. I raced as crew in IOD's in Northeast Harbor as a teen & have been lucky enough to sit on the rail in some larger boat races as an adult. Now, owning our beautiful Swan, we are having success & fun racing her as a family. When work and school allow we are lucky our children want to join us for both racing & cruising!

I have been racing offshore for 25 years and have raced around the world seven times. I have led a team, been part of a team and raced both solo and short handed.
