USCG-licensed Captain, Merchant Marine Officer, and National Safe Boating Council–accredited instructor with over 35 years of international maritime experience — from commanding high-speed craft for the U.S. Navy to helping private boat owners enjoy the water with confidence.

With over 35 years of maritime experience, I’ve dedicated my life to the water. I began my career in the Merchant Marines and spent years as a Navy training officer, specializing in advanced ship handling and high-speed navigation.
After a lifetime of learning and teaching on the ocean, I founded The Sea Guy to bring professional, accessible, and comprehensive maritime services and training to fellow boaters. My goal is simple: to make sure you enjoy your time on the water safely and confidently, knowing you’re in expert hands.




This certification ensures that you receive the highest standard of maritime education. Whether you are looking to master basic boat handling or advanced navigation, my NSBC-accredited training delivers professional, hands-on instruction tailored to your vessel and your unique goals on the water.
