Twelve years ago, I developed the idea to publish a cruising powerboat magazine as a result of my own search for a trawler. With my wife, Laurene, we were in the midst of switching to a cruising powerboat after years of sailing.

We decided to launch the magazine to help the growing number of people who shared this same interest in joining the wonderful cruising under power lifestyle.

(See Philosophy of PassageMaker for the whole story!) Cofounder of PassageMaker Magazine, I am now the Editor-in-Chief. I spend most of my time aboard trawlers and passagemakers, writing and photographing interesting new boats around the country and visiting builders around the world.

You'll find me at most large boat shows and Trawler Fest events, as I continue to look for new products that are helpful to trawler owners.

I continue to follow my bliss, and hope you are as well.
