Ralph has been on the water in some form all of his life. He grew up around the lakes and rivers in Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Then a move to Florida allowed him to spend time sailing the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.
After receiving his US Coast Guard Master’s license, Ralph found a way to share his passion for boating by becoming an approved instructor and teaching classes for getting your captain’s license. He is also an ASA sailing instructor. A career in the newspaper industry gave Ralph the opportunity to live and boat in many parts of the country including a few years up on the Chesapeake Bay. Now as a full time yacht broker, Ralph is back in Florida and helping people in southwest Florida find the boat that will allow them to pursue their boating dreams.
