I am the Managing Partner of Bluenose Yacht Sales (BYS) team. If you read the “about us” page you’ll understand that sailing, yachting and boat design is part of my family history. I truly love the industry, and decided to use my fifteen-plus years in yacht sales, marketing, and design to help people realize and fulfill their passion for sailing or power yachting.

I have been sailing and racing boats both big and small most of my life. I have won the NBYA Bay Championship in both J24’s and as helmsman on a Swan 44. I have thousands of miles of offshore and inshore cruising and racing to include 4 Bermuda Races, a couple of Marblehead to Halifax jaunts as crew boss and primary helmsman and hundreds of one design races.

I’ve been obsessed with sailboats since I sailed a sunfish on a lake at age 8. I bought my first sailboat a 16′ Daysailor at age 12, and sold it to move up to an ODay 22 at 14. I lived aboard my MacWester 27 and Dufoir 35, And now live on land, but race and cruise my Kirie 37 throughout New England.

I have been exploring the waters of New England since I was about three feet tall. Around 25 years ago, I was first introduced to sailing and it has since become the ruling passion of my life. Throughout my former career in advertising and marketing, I was fortunate to have close relationships with many New England boat builders.

I learned to sail on a family Sunfish as a kid and then on my Grandparents Thunderbird One Design boat. When I met my wife in my mid 20’s she encouraged me to get back into sailing and it quickly became an obsession. First at Community Boating on the Charles River, then on any boat that would have me as crew. The last 10 years have been focused on One Design, inshore racing on Farr 40’s, RP Sleds, and TP 52’s and offshore racing the TransAtlantic and other point to point races mostly on Class 40’s and an RP56.

I have been boating for as long as I can remember. From the age of six, my sister and I would borrow ladders in the boatyard and climb all over people’s boats while my parents prepped our boat for the season. Since 2005, I’ve been working as a yacht broker and have actually had permission to climb aboard boats to show my clients.

My career in the maritime industry began as a yacht charter broker, connecting clients with bareboat and crewed yachts in Narragansett Bay and worldwide. In my role at Bluenose Yachts, I love that I can share with others my lifetime understanding of the sheer delight of sailing.
