About Me

I got my passion for the water at an early age sailing on Sunfish sailing dinghies. That passion increased after living in Annapolis & Key West before settling in Chicago. I took this passion a step further and enrolled in the US Maritime Academy to earn my US Coast Guard 25 Gross Ton Master License. This was mostly for my own personal accomplishment, but then decided to build on my "regular" job as a Middle School Math Teacher, and share my love of sailing with others. I enjoy providing sailing instruction to beginning sailors as well as being a charter captain so others can enjoy time on the water enjoying our amazing skyline from the other side of Lake Shore Drive.
