Background
Hi! I'm your captain, and I'm so glad you're considering a trip on the water with me. I've loved boating since I was a teenager, starting out on the lakes of the Ozarks and Table Rock Lake in Missouri. Back then, I learned to handle all kinds of outboard motorboats and also picked up sailing—something that quickly became a lifelong passion. About ten years later, I completed my ASA 101 through 104 sailing courses at the Santa Barbara Sailing School in California. Since then, I've spent a lot of time offshore sailing around Santa Monica Bay, the Channel Islands, and Catalina Island. On the East Coast, I've been boating for over a decade in the Delaware Bay area, up and down the Atlantic coast, and into the Chesapeake Bay. I also have extensive experience on Little and Big Assawoman Bay, Chincoteague, Assateague, Ocean City, Maryland, and in near-coastal waters. I'm also a proud U.S. Army veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. These days, I live near the beach with my amazing wife and our three kids. We love the water, and I truly enjoy sharing that love with others. Whether you're looking for a peaceful cruise, a bit of adventure, or a family-friendly outing, I'd be honored to take you out. Safety is always my top priority—and right behind that is making sure you have a fun, comfortable, and memorable experience.
