Why choose M.E. to perform your survey?

My life long interest in boats has propelled me into a career as a marine surveyor. My interest in boats, curiosity, and level of attention to detail have become recognizable qualities in my work. My goal is to be the one person that you know you can turn to when you have a question about a boat, boating, or you just don’t know who else to ask.

Attention to Detail: As an accountant, I.T. Manager, and medium sized business manager, success is in the details.

Response Time: Scheduling the survey as soon as available, and notification if any cancellations.

Turn Around Time: With the use of up to date technology, I am completely paperless and able to turn around the Report of Marine Survey in an average of one business day after the completion of the inspection.

Rates and adjustments: Standard rates are per linear foot based on model length. I do offer a per hour rate if at anytime, during the inspection, you decide to not require the written report. This way you aren’t paying for something you don’t plan or need to use.

Travel: Not all surveyors are equal. Finding one surveyor, whom you trust, and who is willing to travel to the boat is important.

My fascination with both power and sail boats began as a young man on the lakes of Northern Michigan and the inland water ways and oceans off the coast of North Carolina. My interest in the marine industry began while I was in College. In the summers I worked for Doyle Sails in Traverse City, Michigan. This was a start to now having spent the last 12 years involved in the marine industry.

After college I was a Captain of a 50ft sailboat for an adventure sailing program in the British Virgin Islands. That led me into becoming a Sailing instructor for the National Outdoor Leadership School in Baja, Mexico. After these great experiences and time spent working for both Doyle and Quantum sails I took an opportunity to work overseas in New Zealand for Doyle Sails. This culminated with an experience of a lifetime when I spent 8 weeks delivering a yacht across the Pacific Ocean. I then returned to Northern Michigan where I now reside with my wife and two children.

It is with the know how that all of these jobs and experiences have given me, in addition to completing the yacht and small craft survey course through Chapman School of Seamanship that I look forward to serving you and your marine survey needs.
