Having been a sailor for most of my life I have enjoyed all aspects of sailing from racing dinghy's, Hobie cats and the occasional mono hull, cruising coastal and offshore, living aboard, teaching sailing and selling boats.  I guess I could be classified as a sailing junkie.

I became a yacht broker in 1996 and have really enjoyed the opportunity of helping people through the process of finding their perfect boat.  My profession has introduced me to people from all walks of life with one goal or passion in common "sailing".  It has also afforded me the opportunity to get aboard and sail a variety of different boats.  I tend to gravitate towards offshore cruising boats and as a result organize the Perry Design Rendezvous in the Northwest.

Because the boat is often one persons "dream" and the others "nightmare" I started an annual "Women's Sailing Seminar" and also offer "women only" sail training during the summer months.  This combination has inspired many people to enjoy sailing once they feel confident of their own abilities aboard.
