## About

As 50+ year veteran of the marine industry having started scrapping bottoms to working my way up to being a engineer at a major boat builder to being a Marine surveyor I have the experience needed to help purchase and maintain your boat. Being a long time cruising with thousands of miles of both coastal and offshore sailing I also have the real world experience to offer practical advice for both the novice and experienced sailor

My focus is on the details that actually matter: the equipment and upkeep that prevent problems, the inspections that catch issues before they become expensive, and the knowledge that separates a smooth boating experience from a frustrating one. I work with both new and experienced boaters to demystify essential marine systems.
