Experienced offshore racer, boat owner and 4 time Pacific Cup finisher. Looking for a safety first, friendly crew that wants to win but knows it's about the journey. I've been involved in every part of a successful campaign from boat prep, inspections, sailing practice, provisioning, video production and of course the race. Ideal position would be watch captain, helm, pit or trimmer but I've done every job from bow to stern. Keeping a boat rolling along all night is key to being successful and late night shifts are my favorite.
Previous race references are available, my goal is to always still be friends at the finish line no matter the outcome while focusing on performing well. Current Hands-On Offshore Safety Certificate. Vacation time off is already reserved for the race. Nothing tells a story better than video.
