With a life-long passion for boats and the water much of what I've done in life has in one way or another involved boats. As a youngster, my family owned several boats which we kept in Branford, CT where we belonged to the Indian Neck Yacht Club. After high school, I spent 15 years in the U.S. Coast Guard in which I spent 18 months in Alaska before returning to CT where I became certified as coxswain of Coast Guard search and rescue boats up to 44'.
After my Coast Guard service, I worked for 10 years in the wholesale marine equipment business where I supplied boatyards and marine dealers throughout Connecticut.
In 1983 I began selling new boats and worked for three reputable Connecticut dealerships; 3 years at Housatonic Marina in Stratford, 14 years at Milford Boat Works and then 14 years at Petzold's Marine. I was fortunate to learn from some of the most experienced people in the business. I now have a long, successful history of selling quality new boat brands such as Sabre, Back Cove, Ocean, Egg Harbor, Silverton, Mainship, Cape Dory, Black Watch, Phoenix, Coastal, Pursuit, Grady White and Mako powerboats plus O'Day, Pearson, Cal and Freedom sailboats. That's a lot of new boats!!
In 2013, after 30 years of selling new boats I was ready for a change. I decided to concentrate exclusively on the brokerage boat market. I joined Brewer Yacht Sales, the Northeast's largest yacht brokerage firm. I've now been at Brewer Yacht Sales for over 10 years where I work out of two of Safe Harbor's largest Connecticut marinas: Pilots Point Marina in Westbrook and Bruce & Johnsons Marina in Branford.
Buying or selling a yacht can be a comprehensive process and you should choose your broker carefully. I am proud of my reputation for honesty and my designation as a Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB). With 40 years and over 1200 boat sales transactions behind me, the knowledge and experience I've gained are invaluable when it comes to protecting my client's interests. Whether you are considering buying or selling, power or sail, I can help. I look forward to working with you.
