“The ocean captivated my heart since childhood sailing excursions, summer days at the beach, and later spending many days on my own sailboat. Always changing and endless, the ocean inspires, fascinates, engages and energizes. It keeps me humble and in the moment. For 35 years, the ocean was the first thing I saw in the morning and the last thing I saw at night.
