Multiple World Champion Sailor | Design Engineer at Morrelli & Melvin
I’m a full-time sailor working as a Part-Time Design Engineer at one of Americas most advanced yacht design companies, Morrelli & Melvin. With a professional career in catamarans and foiling I’m considered an expert in these areas which happen to be today’s hot topics. With my two World Champion, European Champion, and 4 National Champion Titles I have set my eyes on SailGP, the America’s Cup, and other professional sailing teams to elevate my game and make a living from the sport that I love.
