I have sold hundreds of boats and worked on thousands over the years. I lead a qualified team of yacht professionals and personally oversee every aspect of the business to ensure clients receive expert guidance and exceptional service. I am a Florida native who grew up on the lakes and rivers of the state, sparking my lifelong love of the outdoors. After serving as an Electrician’s Mate in the U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor, my passion expanded to the ocean. I stayed in Hawaii after my honorable discharge, logging over 1,000 hours on a 21-foot cuddy cabin in a single year and landing 27 yellowfin tuna over 150 pounds—a formative experience in offshore fishing. Back in Florida, I worked as a control center operator before moving into the marine industry full-time. I served as captain of a 60-foot sportfishing boat, competed in major tournaments, and ran a marine service business for 12 years, providing everything from underwater prop changes to engine work and painting. Today, I operate my own yacht brokerage and hold a U.S. Coast Guard 100-ton Captain’s License. With thousands of miles of yacht deliveries completed—from the English Channel to Key West—I bring decades of hands-on boating experience to my clients. My team and I look forward to assisting fellow boaters with all of their yachting needs.
