A Background Built on the Water

Raised on Boston Harbor and the surrounding islands of Massachusetts, I developed an early respect for life on the water through boating, fishing, and time spent with family. That background eventually led to a career in the maritime industry and service in the United States Coast Guard.

Today, I bring over two decades of hands-on marine experience operating, maintaining, and inspecting vessels in both recreational and professional environments. I completed formal training in Yacht & Small Craft Surveying at the Chapman School of Seamanship, combining professional survey methodology with real-world marine experience.

As a Coast Guard veteran and USCG-licensed captain, I focus on providing thorough, straightforward evaluations that help buyers and owners make confident decisions about their vessels.

Based in coastal North Carolina, I proudly serve Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, and surrounding areas, with travel available when needed.
