Riva 44 Rivarama on Lake Iseo In Italy
My passion for boating began in childhood, spending long summer days on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes in Minnesota. Those early experiences on the water remain some of my most cherished memories and ultimately shaped the course of my career.
Driven by an undeniable calling to the sea, I relocated to Florida—a place that held special meaning as my family vacationed there on my grandfather’s boat. At 21, I launched my career with Allied Marine Group, eager to immerse myself in the yachting industry. Through dedication and hands-on experience, I earned my Captain’s license and went on to log over 30,000 nautical miles at the helm as a Corporate Captain for Allied Marine.
While captaining offered incredible experiences, I found the greatest fulfillment in guiding new yacht owners—conducting sea trials, providing post-sale training, and sharing in their excitement. These relationships naturally led me to transition into yacht sales, where I continue to help clients bring their dreams to life.
Today, I remain dedicated to assisting my clients in finding the perfect vessel, combining my in-depth knowledge of the industry with a lifelong passion for the water.
