Sailing Hiatus

Since retiring, I have been working part-time as an IT consultant, author for SAIL Magazine, and pursuing my passion for sailing. I've sailed to the Sea of Cortez on three separate occasions, delivered a Lagoon 380 catamaran from Vancouver to Los Angeles, and raced in the 2016 and 2018 Pacific Cups from San Francisco to Hawaii. During this time I've maintained my technical skills helping deploy the c4cast.com database and financial analysis application, along with integrating our boat's electronics via a wireless network to laptops, iOS iPhone/iPads and the Pebble Smartwatch.

Since 2014 my wife and I have extensively sailed the Gulf of California (formerly the Sea of Cortez) on 'Intuition', our Tartan 3500 sailboat.
