About me
[edit]I am a student of Ocean Engineering at the University of Rhode Island. During the summers I teach sailing. I am originally from Connecticut and have only been to four other countries, but look forward to visiting many others.
Involvement with Wikipedia
[edit]I am a new user to Wikipedia and appreciate constructive feedback on my contributions. My goal is to improve the marine-related entries.
Expertise
[edit]I have been sailing for many years and hold several instructor certifications. I most recently taught small keelboat sailing at a well respected community sailing program in Newport, RI. I consider myself very familiar with various aspects of yacht design, marine electronics, and small boat handling.
