I have been an avid boater since I was old enough to swim. My first jobs in high school were at boatyards on the South Shore in Massachusetts. I have combined my hands on experience with my degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from the University of Michigan to provide quality yacht designs and unique solutions to the marine environment. My first job as a naval architect was for Bob Derecktor at Derecktor Shipyard in Rhode Island. There I gained invaluable experience working with steel and aluminum in a shipyard environment.
