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 bring depth of practical seamanship to every inspection. I’m a graduate of the well-known Chapman School of Seamanship’s Yacht and Small Craft Surveying program, an intensive course in marine systems, structural evaluation, and professional survey methodology. As an active member of the marine surveying profession, I apply this foundation with the same thoroughness and standards expected of accredited surveyors, while continuing to advance my credentials through recognized industry organizations.

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!
