Michael choose to work on yachts as a second career to explore the world working alongside his lovely Chef Wife. Prior to working on yachts he worked for a Danish renewable energy company constructing and maintaining the operation of power plants. He traveled North America and Europe constructing and commissioning the power plants, then started up the satellite service offices to keep them on-line producing power. He transferred from the field to the corporate office to aide in developing the North American subsidiary's After Sales Service Department. He recruited and supported field personnel as the company underwent rapid growth, at peak he managed nearly four hundred field service personnel focused on keeping
power plants producing power. Once this department was self sufficient he was recruited to develop a new strategic department in the Engineering Group that operated akin to special forces in the military attacking root cause of off-line power plants to curb lost production. Last he was enlisted into a think tank to identify multi-million dollar cost out opportunities merging data from power plant performance and business management. After wrangling data from servers and a few hundred Microsoft Power Point presentations he was ready for a new more engaging pursuit. All that time behind a computer, at a desk, in meetings, making reports at the corporate office lead to an irresistible urge to simply trade it all and sail to paradise. With haste Michael and Jennifer began to sail and set their sights on exotic destinations. Given Michael's background as a leader and solving engineering challenges this lead immediately to working as a Captain operating yachts in the Caribbean and has now taken him to destinations
on adventures beyond imagination. Michael will provide professional and safe vessel operations as a Captain. He is happy to host and guide activities in-conjunction with his duties as an Officer. As a Team Michael and Jennifer focus their energy and that of their crew to deliver a well equipped and provisioned yacht charter experience where clients will receive exemplary hospitality and utmost experience of their destinations.
