MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE:
A delivery I helped make in 2007 from Annapolis to Block Island was one of the best trips of my life. The most memorable part was getting to New York Harbor pre-dawn and watching the sun rise on the city as we passed through to the sound.

WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT TEACHING SAILING:
I’m always excited to share my passion for sailing with students who are still learning and developing their sailing ability. The “Ah-ha!” moment (and the accompanying ear-to-ear smile) when a student accomplishes or understands something they’ve been working at all weekend.
