I have been sailing since I was 12 and would love to get a sailboat for my Family to sail around the bay on. I once sailed a Hobie Cat in Thailand and loved how much fun it was. It is also really easy to sail. This is pure sailing at its best. We may even do a couple of races when we get good.

Racing in the summer is such a wonderful thing. Ares is a C&C tall rig 40 owned by Linda Hosking of Marblehead. We have traditionally competed in Cruising class and done very well. Last year we competed in B Fleet (Spinakers) for two races. Now I believe we are ready to raise the bar and compete in 14 of our 20 races in B Fleet with Spinakers.

In 2004, I started competitive Big Boat Sailing. I love being a crew member and have been fortunate to have sailed in some big races with some great sailors. Now at 41 I feel it's time to look ahead at my dream sailing program.

Back in 2007 I left my Investment Banking career to become an entrepreneur. Over the course of the last 4 years I have witnessed first hand the struggles that a startup faces to fund their business ideas. We have been through multiple incubators, sat in numerous meetings and attended many seminars. The process is terribly inefficient so I want to change it.

When I am at my ideal weight everything is easier and I feel and look great. My healthy and happy weight is 210Ibs. I'm currently 250 Ibs so goal is to be at my healthy and ideal 210Ibs by end of July (Average of 2 Ibs per week for 20 weeks). I am doing a personal 21 Day Challenge beginning March 19th taking me to Easter so can set the HABITS. My Goal is to lose 10 Ibs by Easter and lose 2 Ibs every week after that until I am 210.

As I travelled around the world for 20 years, I have always rented. Now that I am settled and have a Family, I want to own a home where my Family can grow up.

I moved to Boston in February 2010 and have not yet built the same tribe of friends I had in Bermuda & Sydney.
