“As a child I spent summers on the water, and watched some of the finest yachts and America’s cup legends being built.  I learned the importance of “building it to last”, and how to live with our natural surroundings.  My wife Stephanie and I raised 3 very cool kids who each had their first day hike at age 8 (days old).  We passed on our passion for hiking and sailing to them, something we all still enjoy.”
