I believe the boating industry doesn’t just need more boaters—it needs more confident ones. Over the past 10 years, I’ve been fortunate to turn this passion into a career, working across nearly every corner of the industry: from running a service business and managing yachts, to founding companies, sailing professionally, speaking on stage, and leading marketing teams. Today, I’m the CMO of NauticEd, the National Education Body for recreational boating in the U.S. We’ve helped over 300,000 students learn to boat smarter and safer, with a network of 500+ instructors worldwide. I’m passionate about making boating more accessible, more educational, and more fun—because when people feel confident on the water, they stick around.
I lead NauticEd’s global marketing strategy and partnerships, driving growth across sail, power, and jet ski education. My work connects the world’s leading charter companies, manufacturers, and safety organizations with NauticEd’s advanced training and internationally recognized SLC license. With a focus on brand positioning, data-driven marketing, and high-value collaborations, I build initiatives that expand NauticEd’s reach, elevate industry standards, and deliver measurable impact. From co-branded campaigns and global product integrations to strategic alliances with companies like The Moorings, Sunsail, and ACR Electronics, my role bridges education with the broader boating ecosystem.
