I am originally from Buffalo, NY and lived in the northeast and mid-west until moving to Tacoma in 2008. My wife, Evette, is a native of Tacoma. We met in 2008 and married in 2009, but began our boating life together in 2016. Evette had some experience in power boats and I in sailboats. We bought a 40 ft Bayliner and joined Tacoma Yacht Club. A year later we jumped into a 45 ft Bayliner Pilothouse and enjoy year-round use of it with our Airedale Terrier, Charley.
In November 2021, having both retired, we moved to Bremerton, and joined POYC in the spring of 2022.
We recognize the importance of volunteers to POYC and plan to do as much as we can to help out. I am pleased to be able to fill the Vice Commodore position and look forward to representing the club at flag officer events. Even more, I hope to use the revised club management structure to help make POYC events more fun for members and to increase participation. In addition, I will help insure good management of the club through my seat on the Executive Board.
Most of all, as new members, Evette and I look forward to meeting more and more club members.
