About

Onboard Reporter, Photographer, Videographer

I grew up on the coast of Maine where the smell of the ocean was never far away. My blue water experience began aboard tall ships, sailing from Mexico to Hawaii and from Boston to Key West, before many years of sitting behind a computer.

A career in graphic design, web development, and digital marketing has been linked to the sea, through long-term contracts with two sailing based non-profits and in support of a Vendée Globe campaign. The common thread: capturing the experience of being offshore and communicating that story through the distribution of multi-media content.

I am seeking new opportunities to serve as an onboard reporter. I am most fulfilled when collaborating with a mission based organization.
