I'm 30 years old and have been racing since I was a kid. I have about 25,000 NM, with about a third of those being 100+ miles from shore. I have a couple of Newport-Bermuda races, a few Chicago-Mac and Bayview-Mac races, and a Marblehead-Halifax race under my belt, along with quite a few 100-300 NM races locally to New England. The longest race I've completed was a Transatlantic race in 2019. Also have competed at national and international levels in a few one design classes.
When I'm not racing I am teaching at The Landing School of Boatbuilding and Yacht Design as the Marine Systems Instructor in Kennebunk, ME. After working as a marine technician/mechanic for 8 years I decided I wanted to teach and I'm in my third year teaching here at the school.
I like to race because it reminds me of why I do, what I do at work. The three big things I follow when I'm offshore are being safe, being competitive and having fun (The order of those ebbs and flows based on the situation). I look forward to hearing about your program and adding value not only from my knowledge of racing but also from a technical/mechanical side.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about positions and I can provide more documentation if needed. Though I live in Maine, I have Summers off and would be able to come out and help with boat work/ warm up races before the race as well as helping with the delivery back and assisting in any repairs after the race.
