Meet Your Coach: USCG 100 Ton Master. Navy Veteran. Expert Instructor.
I’ve spent decades on the water—as a commercial fisherman, in the USN, as a delivery captain, and a licensed U.S. Coast Guard Master (100-ton, Near Coastal Unlimited). I’ve also spent decades teaching and coaching.
My approach is calm, professional, and centered on building your confidence and getting you comfortable. I’ve helped dozens of new owners just like you take confident command of vessels ranging from compact trawlers to full-size motor yachts.
My time in the Navy taught me discipline. My years at sea built my skills and taught me judgment. My clients tell me what they value most is that I bring both to every session.

Let’s Chart a Course Together

You won’t be asked to choose a package or make a commitment until we both agree on the right approach.
