Since graduating school, I covered more than 6,000 nautical miles of open ocean in adventures that have taken me from Newport to Puerto Rico, NYC, Bermuda, and Miami. These experiences have taught me valuable lessons in manual labor, planning, teamwork, competition, and emergency management alongside pushing the bounds of my skills as a sailor.
