Full time Advanced Life Support Paramedic and part time amateur boat builder. I have sailed a variety of boats including a Mirror, Dart 18, Halcat 14, Regatta (two man trapeze spinnaker dinghy), Vivacity 20, and a Holiday 23. This is my first venture (adventure) into boat building. I am looking forward to having a distraction from the trauma and drama that makes up a lot of my working life. (If you are a follower of the TV series NCIS - where Gibbs is building a boat in his basement - I also feel the need to concentrate on something other than work).
I am married to Christie, without whom I would not have been able to even get started on this project.
My beautiful twin four year old boys. I have a feeling I will be building two Optimists soon.
