I have been a licensed captain with the coast guard for 15 years. I have spent 8 Summers in Alaska working for different eco-tour cruise companies. My final four years was with National Geographics Lindbald Expeditions as there second officer. Our summers were spent in Baja Mexico. I have always enjoyed traveling. After leaving the West Coast I entered the private yacht industry spending 4 years traveling the Mediterranean and exclusive parts of the Caribbean. I left the cruise industry to settle down and have a family with my wife Jena Dennis and our three wonderful children Ayden, Collyn, and Ella May. We are now a family that loves to travel! My wife is a highly accomplished Realtor in St Augustine. We manage many properties in the area and we are currently designing a wedding venue to open soon in Hastings Florida called The Venue
