With a remarkable 30 years of seafaring expertise, my journey as a mariner has been nothing short of extraordinary. I embarked on this maritime odyssey in 1990 when I joined the M/Y Stefaren at the esteemed Brooke shipyard in the UK. Rising through the ranks, I served as the First Officer, guiding the yacht through a captivating circumnavigation of the world. During the span of 1990-1999, my seafaring ventures included navigating the Western Mediterranean, Caribbean, Amazon River, Balearic Sea, and the vast expanses of the Pacific Ocean, with transits of both the Panama and Suez Canals. In 2001, I assumed the role of Captain on two distinguished private and commercial motor yacht, overseeing over thirty transatlantic voyages and a remarkable transpacific journey.
For the past 7 years, Fort Lauderdale has been my cherished home base, providing a haven when I’m not at sea. Beyond the oceanic realms, I find solace and joy in the company of my loving wife and two children. Life ashore is a precious balance to the exhilarating adventures I’ve navigated on the open waters.
