YACHTS360 - Key Persons
Time spent on the water with my family has given me priceless memories and incredible satisfaction. I have been into boating my entire life. Believe it or not, I was almost born on a boat, literally. Growing up I enjoyed countless days out on the water with my parents and friends…. these memories are unforgettable.
No matter your budget, if you have the vision and desire, boat and yacht ownership is priceless. Just as I found as a boat buyer in my early years, people want to be treated with respect for their intelligence, valued for their time, and taken seriously. I aim to listen more than I talk - to penetrate the unrealized dreams and emotional barriers in each person. Only then can I properly address their wants and needs.
I strive to sell to the most discriminating of buyers: smart, informed, resourceful people accustomed to success in life. Giving honest prices, true facts and leading my client toward the boat that serves their core values, vision and desire makes their buying experience a lot more enjoyable and rewarding.
I was raised in Maryville, Tennessee and was first introduced to boating on Tellico Lake. It was at Tellico Marina where I really began taking an interest in boating travel after hearing a family neighbor discuss their trips on America's Great Loop.
Between fishing, wakeboarding, tubing, and riding jet skis, I always found a way to be on the water. As time went on, I decided to earn my USCG 100 Ton Master's License and began delivering yachts all across the southeastern United states and beyond.
I spent several years helping Yachts360 with deliveries and detailing before coming on as a full-time broker. I love working with the team and look forward to helping my customer's in their boating journey!
I was born in Garner, North Carolina and currently reside in Burgaw. I am back and forth between Burgaw, Wilmington, and Hampstead to meet with clients and keep an eye on Yachts360 inventory.
The wide range of boats I have been able to experience in my life has given me a unique and well rounded knowledge of the boating market which I am able to bring to my clients.
I enjoy the freedom and non-corporate company culture at Yacths360. We are encouraged to think for ourselves and constantly try new things which opens the door for creativity and outside the box thinking.

I was born in Chicago and was raised in a family of avid boaters and spent much of my childhood boating on Lake Michigan and water-skiing in Wisconsin. At the age of 16, I took a trip with my aunt and uncle from Fort Lauderdale, FL to New Jersey. The trip took two weeks, and we traveled the inter-coastal waterway as well as made runs on the Atlantic Ocean. This trip was a driving force in me wanting to be a boat captain. During my late teens and early twenties, I received my Captains license and worked with my father-in-law on fishing and party charters on Lake Michigan for several years.
I have operated boats from 18' to 87' and enjoy the freedom and independence the water brings. These experiences give me the ability to connect with clients and provide them with the knowledge and experience I've gained over 40 years of boating.
Since retiring I have enjoyed getting back on the water and purchasing a Condo on Clearwater Beach. I also crew on a 87' Cheoy Lee Yacht taking trips to the East Coast and the Bahamas. I gained his Captain's license again in late 2019 to further his options in retirement.
I enjoy being a Yacht Broker because of the relationships you encounter and build overtime from meeting new people who love to be on the water like I do.
