About
American Citizen with EU residency, currently based out of Cannes, (PB2, PWC, STCW and ENG1 certified), I ready and available to join your crew as deckhand. While new to the professional yachting industry, I bring over 17 years of seasonal hands-on boating experience and a strong commitment to building a long-term maritime career. My experience comes from operating my family’s 8m motorboat and PWC in the USA since the age of 16, where I developed a foundation in general handling of the vessel and skills such as docking, anchoring, towing tubes or water-skiers. I am confident on the water and ready to apply my passion for boating into a professional yachting environment. In terms of water sports I enjoy water skiing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, fishing, cliff jumping, and jet skiing. Im fit, quick hands-on learner, adaptable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with a strong focus on maintenance, cleanliness, guest readiness, and safe deck operations.
Personal Details
Career Objective
My general objective is to get into the yachting industry as a Junior Deckhand. My ultimate goal is to progress through the ranks to become Lead Deckhand or Bosun one day, potentially a captain. I am currently interested in taking the Yachtmaster Offshore as I conclude my Day Skipper Theory Course. For the coming years I'm interested in staying on the Mediterranean, even though I would accept crossings to/from the USA.

Hobbies & Interests
I enjoy operating personal watercraft and motorboats, and I have a strong awareness of safety procedures. All I need to be happy is to be out on the water. Raised along large lakes in New Jersey and New York, the water became quickly embedded in me. If I’m not on the water, you might find me at the gym, cooking for my family at home, drawing, or hiking with my wife Having been to 30+ more countries, I am easily adaptable to unknown settings and find myself navigation those scenarios with ease
