About

Surfing, water sports, and boating have always been part of my life, fueling my passion for navigation and mechanics. After building a career in the Financial Market, I realized that my true calling has always been on the water. I'm committed to turning this lifelong passion into a profession, refining my skills with the goal of becoming a Captain.
