"All my life I have lead through example. Using my
skills and extensive experience, I exhibit myself as a role model for young
people. By leading many team concept workshops myself and
applying those concepts in daily life, business and sailing,
I have created many well honed crews in every venture I have
undertaken.
Having sailed for many years, I have acquired the innate
ability to feel vessel movement of all sizes and shapes, both sail & power.
I love being aboard and at sea!"
“Capt. Tim sure has a great feel
for boat handling. He‘s a natural.”
Captain T. G. Fennell
"Being at sea during trying, stormy weather conditions and
emergency situations is not
enjoyable. From those times I have learned to remain both
calm and steady so as to inspire confidence in others own
safety as passenger or crewmember.
As a sailing instructor, a Fox
Valley Technical College educator and Lost River School
teacher, I have worked with students and clients of ages
10-95 yrs. This has given me a broad understanding of how to
work with people and help them gain the knowledge and
enjoyable experience they have desired.
I am a man who is greater than the sum of his parts. Any
discerning owner, fellow Captain or organization will be
very pleased with me as an integral part of their team; for
I am easy to get along with, fun and interesting to have
aboard.”
