Sue and I have been POYC members since 2021, and we love the variety of events that the Club offers, from Winter activities such as the Christmas Cruise and Penguin Cruise and Spring and Summer events such as St Paddy’s Day Cruise and Club events on the 4th of July. I am excited to be your new Rear Commodore.
I have been in the Maritime business for over 48 years, starting as a deckhand at WSF and working my way up the ladder to Captain. I sailed on all the routes from Pt Defiance to Anacortes to the San Juans and Sydney BC. I also served as Port Captain for 9 years at WSF. I retired from WSF in 2009, and then became the Regional Representative for the Masters, Mates & Pilots Maritime Union, representing Deck Officers on Ferries, Tugs and other Vessels from California to Alaska. I was elected Vice President in 2015 until my retirement two years ago. I still am involved in the Maritime Industry as President of the Puget Sound Port Council.
I look forward to working with the other Flag Officers and the Executive Board and members to make sure our Club is the best club in the Puget Sound area. Sue and I look forward to representing POYC at The Grand 14 events.
