About Me

I was born in Wellington, NZ and was raised like most Kiwis with salt water in my veins. This "Windy City" is near Cook Strait where it is not uncommon the get 10 meter swells.

I started teaching and raising a family in Auckland, the "City of Sails" where sailing is year round and everybody has a boat.

We moved to Atlanta, in 1990 where we sailed snipes in Lake Allatoona with the Atlanta Yacht Club.

After more than 20 years as a public servant, it was time to hang up my soldering iron and go sailing.
