Why I love sailing
When I’m out on the ocean, I feel connected. I feel in the moment. I feel alive. In addition to sailing being an adventure, it is also full of valuable life and business lessons.
A cruiser at heart
When I have a chance to get away, there is usually one place I like to stay. It is Big Geiger Cove, on Catalina Island, off the coast of California. I grew up there as a kid, and it’s the closest, furthest place I can go. I sail my 1977 Cal 34 BINGO II there many times during the Summer months.

Summer Sailstice
I feel like I’ve always been an unofficial ambassador to try to get people to learn more about sailing. So when found out that Summer Sailstice had ambassadors, I signed up pretty quickly. This was my second year as an ambassador and I’m looking forward to holding another event on Catalina Island next year.
The way I look at it, sometimes all we need is an excuse. An excuse to try something new. An excuse to explore. An excuse to spend time with friends. An excuse to spend time in nature. An excuse for an adventure. And to me, that’s exactly what Summer Sailstice is, a good excuse to find a sailboat to get on and go sailing. If I can help be that excuse for my friends, family, and people in my network, I’m all for it. If you want to amplify the messages, then let’s connect on Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn too.
