His interest in cats started when a friend took him sailing on a Hobie cat. He started racing Hobbies and later raced in the Prosail circuit on a Hobie 21 from 1988 to 1989. This is a circuit which went from city to city and raced close to shore on short courses so spectators could watch. They raced Formula 40's and Hobie 21's for cash prizes. He married Melodye two and a half years ago after meeting her at a Chamber of Commerce meeting but he didn't date her for two years.
Some guys just like to go at it slowly.
Today he sails his A-Cat and a Tornado but is through with the Olympic aspirations. However when Larry called him up to see if he wanted to do this trip he jumped at the chance like the rest of us. We are glad to have him aboard and on our watch.
