I have cruised and raced sailboats since 1968 and covered over 60,000 nautical miles in the North and South Atlantic, the Arctic Ocean, the Pacific, the Med, the North Sea and the Baltic. I’m currently embarked on a circumnavigation on my Amel 55 Kincsem with changing crews of friends and family. We started in the Caribbean and have made it to Whangarei, New Zealand so far. Check out my blog at:

I have been a member of the OCC General Committee, the OCC Governance Committee and the coordinator of the OCC’s Member Support Network for the Americas since April 2023. Among other contributions, I’ve held a series of Zoom calls every year with the 130+ port officers in the Americas, getting feedback from the PO community. Further, I’ve substantially revised all port officer, regional rear commodore and roving rear commodore documentation and procedures. I’ve also made a large number of suggestions for improvements to our website and the OCC app and various policies and procedures.
I’m a retired partner of a major international law firm, having practiced transactional law for more than 30 years in New York City and Los Angeles. I am past member of the Board of Trustees of the American Yacht Club in Rye, New York and a member of St Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. I am a US Coast Guard licensed captain and live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I look forward to serving another term on the General Committee of the OCC. As a member of the GC, I intend to focus on further improving the membership experience for all OCC members, such as improvements to the website and OCC app and the member support (including port officer) network. I also plan to work on updating some of the OCC’s policies and procedures to ensure that they comply with “best practices” for a club with a worldwide membership.
