Jack began boating at the age of 12 with his first ski boat and sunfish sailboat. After spending four years living on a 42 foot ketch sailboat in New York Harbor, he set sail for Bermuda and the Caribbean. 8 months later and after passing through the Panama Canal he sailed into San Diego Bay in 1998. The decision to help others enjoy the boating lifestyle came easy and he began working for H&S Yacht Sales in Marina del Rey. Three years later he opened and managed United Yacht Sales on Shelter Island in San Diego and in 2005 opened his own brokerage and yacht dealership, Southern California Yacht Sales on Harbor Island. In the last 10 years over 500 boats, both new and brokerage, have been bought or sold through his offices under his watchful attention. After being on the CYBA board for two years, Jack is very please to preside as President and help guide the CYBA in it's mission to help California Yacht Brokers and Salespeople. |
