Andy grew up racing, day sailing and cruising in Michigan and made his first offshore passage at age 19, which set him on a course into the sailing industry that continues to this day. A USCG licensed captain and US Sailing certified instructor, Andy has taught sailing, cruising and racing for over 15 years and currently cruises his Grand Soleil 39 with his wife and two sons. When not sailing with his family, Andy loves racing any boat he can get on; skippering deliveries; teaching sailing, cruising, and racing classes; and inspiring sailors to get out on the water and live their dreams.
