I’m a licensed 100-ton Master Merchant Marine with over 20 years of experience as a captain. Since 1975, I’ve been piloting boats and have had the privilege of cruising and delivering vessels around the globe. As an affiliate broker for Paradiso Yacht Charters, I manage a diverse fleet of vessels in Newport Beach, California, ranging from small run-abouts to a luxurious mega yachts. I love sharing ocean experiences with others, especially when they get to witness the awe-inspiring sights of dolphins, sea lions, and majestic whales along our beautiful California coastline.
