I have always had a huge love and passion for the water. My boating experience started at the age of 13 when I learned to sail at my family’s boating club in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. Living on the water was a tremendous advantage as I learned to sail on a Blue Jay and then, the next year, on a Laser. My love for sailing had me racing Laser sailboats for many years!
Â
I then moved on to powerboats and have had many boats, from small Whalers to large Sportfish Convertibles, including a 37-foot Egg Harbor and a 53-foot Viking. My wife Dorothy & I raised our two sons, Taylor and Christian, on our boats, and this increased our love for the boating lifestyle. Our enthusiasm for boating had us vacationing on many Eastern Seaboard locations, including Long Island Sound, Block Island Sound, and our favorite destination, Nantucket Island. I’ve always taken great pride in maintaining and skippering all my vessels.Â
Â
After a 35-year career in sales working for Herff Jones selling yearbooks to schools from Queens to Montauk, joining Brewer Yacht Sales is a natural progression in my lifelong sales career. My strong sales experience has gifted me to be a great listener, a trait which is of the utmost importance in buying and selling boats.Â

I am dedicated to providing a seamless experience for both buyers and sellers, and I look forward to making your dreams come true!
