Do you know any other Below Deck franchise yachties? Yes, I’ve met a few through the years.

Who do you miss most from home when you’re traveling for work? My brother is my kryptonite. 

What is your wildest charter guest story from your career? So many! 

What was your first impression of St. David? She is BIG. Interior was kind of giving Downton Abbey vibes. 

Favorite place you’ve been on charter/ place you traveled? I fell in love with Charleston, but not boat-related. I love Nashville! I live for country music. 

What’s one thing about working and living on a boat that would surprise people? It's definitely a hard concept to grasp the fact that we live on the boat all of the time. Nomads.
