My Story

I grew up in the countryside in the North of England spending weekends dinghy sailing on Derwent Resevoir. I love speed and so heeling over on a tiny lazer got me hooked. When I left school, I spent the summer training to be a ski instructor in Argentina before heading straight to Verbier, Switzerland for the winter season.

A friend introduced me to the superyacht industry and I thought this was my time to go and explore. I spent 18 months working on 3 different yachts both charter and private around the Mediterranean and Caribbean. After gaining industry experience I headed back to land to work for a brokerage in London before joining Y.CO as a Sales Broker in Monaco.
