Sailing, Drones, Sound and Video
My Main Adventures
Sailing Instruction
Sailing has been a lifelong passion and there’s nothing I like better than passing on my love for the sea. I’ve been teaching cruising for most of the major North American sailing instruction schemes, since I received my first instructor certificate in 2006. In addition to being a commercially qualified RYA Yachtmaster, I’m a certified cruising instructor for the RYA, SailCanada and the ASA.
Navigation Instruction
In addition to teaching navigation in person, I’ve now got my own online course to teach electronic navigation. I’ve been using Navionics® as one of my main electronic navigation tools for many years and saw a need to help people use it better. Check out my Navigating with Navionics® course.
Drone Videography
As of 2023, I’ve started working towards my Canadian Commercial drone pilot certificate (RPAS certificate). I love flying drones and producing aerial photos and videos. My focus has been on and around the water, and of course, sailing. Aerial videos really let us get an amazing bird’s eye view that’s just not possible any other way.
Audio Editing
If you’re looking to great sounding audio, I’m also a freelance audio editor. I help podcasters fine tune their sound so they can concentrate on producing amazing podcasts. I play mandolin and I’ve even made my own video backing tracks from music I’ve recorded.
