Rolex Yachtsman of the Year

 
Being voted Rolex Yachtsman of the Year is an honor of the highest order! I am flattered and humbled to be included amongst the great American sailors who grace this award.
2025 has been a year of success and recognition for me. Winning the Star World Championship put a spot light on a lifetime of work, dedication, discipline, and passion. My dreams came true!
I am grateful for the honors that have come my way. I am rich with memories, emotions, and the amazing experiences that make up my journey in our beautiful sport.
I am especially grateful for my health, my fitness, and my family and my friends.
I have been blessed to have passion in my life. I have always had goals. When I wake up in the morning, I know what I am going to do and can’t wait to get going. I think of life like an hourglass; while a lot of sand has fallen for some of us, the sand that hasn’t fallen is precious opportunity.
Age is a number, not a limit.
