RECENT DELIVERIES/CHARTERS
When delivering boats, my number one goal is the safety of my crew and passengers as well as the safety of the vessel. I work hard to plan every aspect of every move to make sure all options have been considered. I pride myself on being thorough, easy-going and approachable while making sure all safety measures have been considered.

BOATS OWNED
As a child I grew up on and around boats in Cape May, NJ when we lived on my fathers boat for 5 summers. That bug has fueled my drive to have (many) boats in my life. Here is a list of the boats I’ve owned.
2000 21′ Pursuit (2012-Current)
BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
DT DETAIL & PAINTING, President | 1993-Current
I started my own business in 1993 detailing boats. My love and understanding of boats quickly pointed my business endeavors to include dirty jobs such as bilge cleaning and bottom painting along with the more detailed work such as boat painting and blending paint repairs.
