I bought my first big boat in February of 2020-just on month before New York City confirmed it’s first COVID-19 case. At that moment, I had no idea a global pandemic was looming-just a head full of adventure and sails to hoist. Then something enexpected happened: during those serene voyages and unforeseen challenges, my casual passion ignited into something life-changing-I became a marine surveyor.

After a 30 year-career as an entrepreneur in the advertising industry, which I concluded in late 2020, I transitioned into something that has always been a part of my adult life: trading the markets. I dove deeper into high-risk, fast moving strategies in micro float small-cap equites-the kind that demand sharp decision-making and a clear understanding of risk.

And that’s just it. As your marine surveyor, I manage RISK. I’ve always had a deep respect for boats and water, and surveying allows me to combine that passion with a trained eye for risk assessment. Just like in the markets, buying a yacht isn’t just about surface impressions - it’s about understanding what’s beneath the surface. I can help buyers cut through the noise, quantify risk, and make confident, well-informed decisions.

With over 10,000 ocean miles navigated and a U.S. Coast Guard 25-Ton Master Captain’s License, my background combines real-world seamanship with professional training. I’m a graduate of the prestigious Chapman School of Seamanship’s Yacht and Small Craft Surveying program, an intensive course that blends marine systems, structural evaluation, and field-tested methodology. My inspections are guided by that foundation and grounded in the realities of what makes a vessel truly seaworthy.

I bring high energy and focus to every survey, treating each job with the care and urgency it deserves. In a time when real customer service feels like an art, I make it a priority. I’m responsive, reliable, and genuinely committed to making sure my clients feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way!
