My path here wasn’t conventional. After college, I spent 7 years working on offshore oil rigs — starting as a roughneck and working my way up to Derrick-man — including time on a rig off Tanzania’s coast. That environment doesn’t tolerate shortcuts: every system, every line, every piece of equipment had to be inspected, understood, and trusted with people’s lives on it. I bring that same discipline to every yacht I represent.

With 35 years in luxury yacht brokerage, I bring firsthand knowledge of leading builders including Ferretti, Riva, Princess, Azimut, Absolute, Pershing, Wally, Sanlorenzo, and Sunseeker. I’ve toured shipyards, owned and lived on several yachts including a Hunter 40.5 “Pacific Wind”, Azimut 62S “Splash”, Azimut 68 “Splendo”, Princess 70 “Lady Linda”, Sea Ray 510, and Bayliner 47 and understand what truly separates one builder’s craftsmanship from another’s marketing.

My approach is simple: understand how you want to live on the water first, then find the yacht that fits. Whether that means weekend cruising with family, entertaining 40+ guests, exploring the Bahamas, or taking on extended coastal passages, I help clients objectively compare builders, layouts, performance, quality, and price.
