I am from North Idaho originally and grew up on Coeur d'Alene lake. We are a water family! I officially got hooked on salt when my folks towed their cabin cruiser to the San Juan Islands when I was a Senior in High School. I saw a crew pull a large yacht into Roche Harbor and it was then I knew what I wanted to do.

I have been a professional mariner since 2008 working on everything from Tug Boats, Small Passenger Cruise Ships and Private Yachts ranging from 80'-240' as a Mate or Master. I was able to work my way up the ranks to achieve my 200 Ton Masters license in 2010. I previously was a food and beverage manager for fine dining restaurants and private golf course communities. This uniquely allowed me to fit well for working on private yachts combining high end customer service with my passion for the sea has been a key note in my life.

We have been a part of the Anacortes Community since 2016 and the decision to move to shore side in 2019 helped open a new chapter for me. I found Seattle Yachts in 2020. The opportunity to use my Captains license, customer service and be a part of a growing dynamic company was too much to look past. My success with Seattle Yachts goes hand and hand with the people that have supported me and my clients, helping to offer the highest level of customer service and boat buying experience. This is truly a family and I am looking forward to my adventure inside of it!

I have 3 kiddos, Joree, Malia and Maggie, and we play hard. When I'm not at my desk, we are in the mountains hiking or skiing and in the summer months we are in the garden or on the boat camping around the Puget Sound enjoying all the Salish Sea offers.
