I have been sailing on the Hudson River, around New York City, for over 30 years and love sharing my knowledge, experience, passion, and enjoyment of sailing and New York City/ Hudson River history with sailing students and charterers alike. I am also a New York City licensed Sightseeing Guide. I have also logged extensive sailing hours on the Chesapeake Bay and in the British Virgin Islands. I am have American Sailing Association certifications up to Coastal Navigation (ASA 105), plus Basic, Coastal, and Bareboat Sailing Instructor certificates, and I’m licensed by the United States Coast Guard. I am a graduate of Lehigh University. When not sailing, I am an avid photographer and a member of the New York City rock-n-roll cover band, “OTTO,” where I’m the drummer, and would drive the band boat, if we had one.
