My first boating experience started many years ago with a Sunfish sailboat on an inland lake at a local resort when I was only 8 years old. My love for boating and the water has only grown since that day. I grew up with a large family on an asparagus farm and was recruited to pick asparagus at a very young age. After school I stayed in a farming related industry working for a local John Deere dealership as an agricultural technician, but felt my talents could be better used in other fields. So off to other jobs I went that included excavating, demolition, and sales. I still wanted something more.
I found myself helping in the manufacturing and sales of the worlds first interactive, portable flight simulator that are in many entertainment centers and museums around the country. After I sold my half of the business I was looking for something new. I didn’t realize it at the time but a lifelong friend had the answer for me. The answer was selling boats! I started at Anchorage Yacht Sales in the summer of 2006 and haven’t looked back. I have been married to my wonderful wife Jennie since 1994, and we have two great little boys Isaac(Born in 06) & Seth(Born in 11) . We have both enjoyed boating in many places including the Great Lakes and Caribbean waters. Being in the yacht broker business I realize honesty, integrity and building relationships with my customers is a number one priority. I hope to see you and your family on the water.
