I’m a native of the Puget Sound area and have always found myself drawn to the boating lifestyle. It started with my family’s first boat, a 21′ closed deck runabout. I learned a lot from that first boat…like how fast a boat will fill with water if you forget the plug, and why its a good idea to stay away from oyster bed walls at low tide! Since that first family runabout I have found myself on everything from CLarks, J 22’s, sail boards, ski boats of all brands, and larger boats from the typical 8 knot trawlers to 24 knot 60 foot Sunseekers. After college I attended the Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building and lived in Port Townsend for the next few years working on everything from old converted trawlers to sailboats taking time off from a world cruise to get a few planks replaced.
After leaving Port Townsend I went away from the marine world for a while but soon found myself wanting to get back to my passion. I began working in sales at a large dealership on Lake Union and for the last fifteen years have used my extensive boating background and boat building experience to help my customers find their perfect boat. They have grown to lean on me for their buying desicions but also heavily on techinical questions as well from my years of building and installation work. I really enjoy the sales side but I excell at keeping my customers happy after their purchase.
