My Story

Born in Florida, I was raised in Davie on the outskirts of Fort Lauderdale. I was introduced to the yachting industry after I graduated from the University with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. After moving home, I got a job working at a startup company where I was implementing new accounting systems, which was a pivotal role in preparing me for the fast paced and dynamic nature involved in the Y.CO accounts department.
 
During my time in Jacksonville, I started playing guitar with bands at local bars and acoustic solo shows. Having learnt to play guitar at age seven, I have since taken home various awards in over a dozen regional competitions performed across the United States and I continue to perform at any opportunity given. My favourite location is Antones Nightclub, a famous blues club in Austin TX.
