    Spent 33 years fishing and working on pops commercial Salmon boat.
    Learned to sail in 1985 and have ever since dreamed of building a boat and sailing the rest of my life on it.

    Pops had an auto shop where I started pumping gas at 10. After he passed in 99, I went into building.

    I worked for a non profit Marine Defence organization for 3 years maintaining their decommissioned Coast Guard Search and Rescue boat, and in that time rebuilt the thing tip to tail, top to bottom.

    I have spent a lot of my life in shipyards working on other peoples boats, and now I am finally building one of my own.
