BIO
The love for sailing is challenging and demanding, and its true beauty lies in overcoming one’s barriers and weaknesses. In something obvious but most valuable – in discovering the world and oneself. Sailing has taught me discipline, which is important not only on a yacht but also in everyday life. It has taught me never to give up and to pursue my dreams relentlessly.
Shaped by the element of open water, determined in reaching goals. A sailing enthusiast and an adventurer seeking extremes. He has sailed thousands of miles in inland and offshore voyages. He’s navigated the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Caribbean. He discovers new lands not only by sea. His desire to explore the world, different cultures and extraordinary people never allows him to stay in one place.
