After a taking sabbatical he attended the Merchant Marine Academy, obtaining a Merchant Mariners Officers License, where he began working on commercial ships. Having completed a few Pacific crossings on cargo vessels, he realized he belonged back on the sunnier side of the industry- sailing vessels and private yachts. Since then, he has worked on private yachts and sailboats, the latest ones being on AD ASTRA, a 55ft catamaran, where he ran surf charters off of the Pacific side of Nicaragua for two years
