Arn, aka the Old Guy, has been at Sailyard since 1998, and when you sit down with him, you encounter a lifelong boater and natural storyteller who enjoys sharing his vast knowledge while making a new friend.

Before Sailyard, Arn was an Engineer in the Navy, a Hershey Executive, co-creator and patent holder of bicycle braking systems, and an Eagle Scout and Adult Scout Leader who helped pioneer a new innovative Boy Scout Leadership program.

When not on or around boats you can find Arn fly fishing for trout, trying new foods, or listening to the Big Bands of the 30’s and 40’s. And he never boards his boat without his knife, reading material, and sunglasses.

“My most notable sailing experience was being in the middle of the Atlantic on a bright starry night and feeling I could scoop up a thousand stars in my hand.” 

Arn’s favorite quote is from the movie, Harvey, when Jimmy Stewart says, “Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, ‘In this world, Elwood, you must be,’ she always called me Elwood, ‘you must be, oh so smart, or oh so pleasant.’”  

“Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.”
