Growing up in West Palm Beach, Florida, I developed a passion for boating that led to a 21-year career in the United States Coast Guard, retiring as a Senior Chief Petty Officer. Throughout my career, I operated and commanded vessels ranging from small rescue boats to large Coast Guard cutters, developing extensive experience in vessel operations, navigation, safety and leadership.

Following my military career, I expanded my experience in the recreational boating industry through vessel inspections, sea trials, deliveries and owner orientations.

I founded Shore Time Marine to bring that experience to marine surveying and consulting, providing independent assessments, honest communication and the attention to detail every client deserves.
