BACKGROUND
I have been involved in Pacific North West boating for approximately 30 years. With many travels up and down the inside passage and trips exploring the San Juan Islands, I have been fortunate to see much of this areas diverse and challenging scenery. We are fortunate to live, work, and play in some of the grandest coastal conditions there are. I have pleasure fished the waters of the N.W., commercial fished South East Alaska for several years, and have boat camped up and down Desolation Sound. I am constantly pursuing the joy of Island cruising. I currently hold a 50 Ton Masters license with a 100 mile near coastal credential. I belong to a national random drug testing program and am a non smoker. CPR and First Aid certified.
