About me
After 16 years of experience running yachts on the US east coast, Bahamas and Caribbean waters, I feel more passionate and grateful about my work. I have also decided to move up from the <100’ yachts as I look forward to taking on more responsibilities and move towards a larger license. Having grown up on the sunshine coast in QLD Australia, I developed a natural attraction to the ocean through surf lifesaving, surfing, fishing and free diving. At 21 years of age, I moved to Mexico City and eventually build my first home on the south pacific coast of Mexico in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, where I currently call home. I have been fluent in Spanish since 2003. In 2009 I received my Yacht master offshore 200 ton through the RYA in Fort Lauderdale and was immediately offered the captains position on board two 82’ yachts based in Miami where I found that I have a natural ability when it comes to navigating and maneuvering yachts. I have also recently upgraded my YMO to the Master of yachts Unlimited (OCEANS) through the PYT USA.
