I have been selling yachts for 30 years, and evolved into the 100' plus market 20 years ago. During my tenure, I have earned the loyalty of hundreds of satisfied repeat and referred clients, as well as the most respected yacht brokers in the world of whom I value as good friends.
I currently serve on the Board of Directors of the International Yacht Broker's Association, the largest professional member advocacy organization of the yachting industry, and the National Certified Professional Yacht Broker's Association Certification Advisory Board, the industry's highest standard of testing and Yacht Broker certification.
I have strong relationships with many of the largest and most respected brokers, dealers and builders in the World. My role has grown over the years to assist in the consulting of new construction projects, refits, marketing, and the complex mechanics of bringing both new and brokerage product to the market, and subsequently the closing table. Fostering supportive relationships across the span of the industry has been crucial to my position in this business.
I have been managing the business side of yachting in Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, FL for 30 years the right way.
My devotion to delivering “Excellence in Yachting” and a proven, safe, and dependable yachting experience through relationships I have established around the World is a goal I take seriously.

I started my career as a mate in the sportfish industry working on charter boats out of Ponce Inlet, FL when I was 15 years old. At 18 years old, I had a passion for fishing and boats and loved it. While earning my bachelor’s degree in the morning, I attended night school to obtain my Captain’s License. After receiving my license, I stayed working as a mate to gain as much knowledge and experience as I could about various boats and sport fishing from the professionals.
Couple of years later, I was offered my first job as a Captain on a Private Sport Fish Yacht. As time went on, I gained more experience and upgraded my captain license and was offered a job on a yacht. I worked for over 10 years as captain of motor yachts up to 130’. After traveling to numerous places and working on a variety of sport fishing yachts and motor yachts I moved back to my home town in Florida and started to captain a home based sport fishing yacht.
After many years of traveling and being around numerous owners, captains, mates and guests, I have learned what makes this industry unique and fun while being passionate about the ocean.

I began my career in the marine industry in the late 90’s in Minnesota. At that time the idea of having the exterior of your boat professionally maintained did not exist. I successfully owned and operated a boat detailing/management business for 20-plus years in both MN and FL.
During my 10 years in Fort Myers, FL I became a 100-ton licensed USCG captain. My initial focus was operating clients' boats but quickly became the captain of an 80 Lazzara MY. Our primary focus was FL waters in the winter and Bahama waters in the summer months. I’ve logged 30-plus deliveries to and from MN/FL.
In 2009, I entered the Brokerage side of this industry, focusing on the Midwest market. Not long after that I became licensed in FL to offer clients an expanded reach in the market.
Today, I split my time between Minnesota and Florida, which in my opinion is the best of both worlds.
