I always wanted to learn how to sail – a dream I always held onto, but never really thought would become a reality. I finally realized my initial dream of learning how to sail later in life. I cherish every moment.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think learning to sail would lead me on a path to becoming an American Sailing instructor playing a small role assisting others pursue their sailing dreams, racing across oceans to stand proudly with my crew mates on the final podium, being a race skipper in the Great Lakes, and making dear friends from across the globe.
