I grew up on Barnegat Bay and had my first boat at the age of 13. This started my lifelong love affair with boats and the sea.
I have worked in the boating industry for almost 40 years. I started as a bottom painter and worked my way up to marine mechanic then to marine business owner and marina manager, and now for the last 10 years, a yacht broker. I honed the skills needed to not only run boats but also learned what makes boats run. I am equally at home at the helm as well as in the engine room
I have held a USCG license for over 30 years. I captained a private motor yacht for one family for 25 years. I also worked as a delivery captain making the trip between the Northeast and Florida 34 times. I also participated in the 1989 Marion Massachusetts to Hamilton Bermuda Race in an Irwin 38.
At Brewer Yacht Sales I will use my vast knowledge of boats both power and sail and their systems to help clients make the right choice in the boat that is right for them.
