The Summit Motoryachts Team

• Gets pictures and mail from clients all over the oceans who are living out their own personal brand of adventures of a lifetime, since joining Kadey-Krogen in 2004.
• Spent a couple of years cruising from New England down through the Caribbean, where the freedom and beauty of the people and places changed him forever and showed him his purpose.
• As a liveaboard, he wore a suit and tie daily, though he came home to the water every night and by 6:00 on Fridays was usually underway to some beautiful anchorage for the weekend.
• Found a family in the community of boating and marina culture as a liveaboard, and discovered a home that would protect him from his greatest fear—a boring life!
• Graduated from the University of Texas, he moved to the East Coast and ended up purchasing a 44-foot trawler instead of a house to live in Annapolis on the Chesapeake Bay.
• Grew up in a family devoted to voyaging on the water in all forms: From sailing across the Gulf of Mexico in regattas to weeks-long journeys down the Colorado River in canoes, his passion for exploration by water has always been his central priority.

• Their favorite destination to date has been the pool-clear waters of the Exumas in the Bahamas.
• Became a partner in the company and served as vice president for 15 years. In 2021, he sold his interest in Kadey-Krogen Yachts but remains an integral part of the sales team.
• Left his DC-based consulting job to open the Maryland office for Kadey-Krogen Yachts.
• Intially fell in love with a Krogen 42′ in 2002 and volunteered to help out Kadey-Krogen at the Annapolis Boat Show.
• Graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University, and his business travels took him to Florida where he purchased and lived aboard a 44′ sailboat. Work eventually brought him back to DC, and Annapolis seemed the logical spot to live aboard and commute.
• Became thoroughly hooked on boating when he was 12 and piloted his family’s 36-foot Pacemaker the last half of their voyage from Kingston, Ontario, to Rochester, New York, because both parents were too seasick to run the boat.
• Life-long boater, born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, and throughout his childhood explored the Great Lakes from Mackinac Island to Montreal.
