Summary

A retired Hospital HR Executive, I now want to put my 35 years of "on the water experience" to work in the Marine industry. I Live on a sailboat in the summer. I have owned and operated boats from an 18-foot catamaran to my current 36-foot "Freedom" sailboat. I Co-captained a 63 foot motor yacht this winter on transit from West Coast of Florida to Miami.
