I've been settling into my new position as the Director of Naval Academy Sailing. It's a great job - that probably goes without saying. The program is actually far more complex than I could have imagined - 160+ sailboats in the fleet, a 6 acre marina, a mixed staff of Navy officers and enlisted sailors, Government civilians and athletic department coaches, 20+ funding sources, a charitable foundation and an advisory board. I'm trying to get out on the water as much as possible but each day brings new challenges. I'm very fortunate to have an amazing staff. Within my civilian ranks are veterans of the Whitbread/Volvo Around the World Race, the Americas Cup, former Olympic hopefuls and a Collegiate Sailor of the Year.
