When I started
selling yachts nearly 20 years ago I would have never guessed that
this hobby would have become a profession. As I look back at the
years now, the boats I've sold, and the new friends I've met I can
think of no other profession I'd rather be in.
Although I mainly sell larger
cruising sailboats, both new and used, I am also quite experienced
in power boats of all sizes. I take a lot of pride in helping people
that are just getting started find the right boat to suit their
needs.
I continually keep a nationwide
outlook on the market to find the best deals on brokerage boats
for my clients and I travel extensively to represent clients in
these transactions. I regularly attend the 2 largest boat shows
(Miami and Annapolis) in the US every year to get the latest information
on both new boats and gear and to look for brokerage boats for my
customers.
I've been both the Vice President
and a Director of the Gulf Coast Yacht Brokers Association (GCYBA)
and I am currently in my 2nd term as a Regional Captain for the
Yacht Brokers Association of America (YBAA). I am also one of the
oldest Florida Licensed Brokers in Texas (#1815), which allows me
to buy and sell boats in Florida and I have received Beneteau's
Top Gun award 3 times for sales and dedication. I believe there
is no substitute for experience when it comes to buying a boat.
Whether it's power or sail, I'm sure that my experience can help
you make the right choice.
Of course I've never lost my passion for boating either. My wife
and two daughters, who are 12 and 9, enjoy sailing our '99 Catalina
320, Poco Yate, on Galveston Bay and the Texas Gulf Coast. I would
look forward to working for you and showing your family why I believe
this is the best family oriented activity you can pursue.
