UPDATE 2025: Looking for a range of experiences, but definitely interested in longer term agreements if starlink is accessible and ample on board.

Living in San Francisco, I teach at an American Sailing Association (ASA) school, teaching beginner keelboat courses. I also own a hobie 16 that gets me out on the water often. Professionally I am a bio-engineer but with over 25,000nM offshore experience. Pre-Covid I sailed from Europe to Australia crewing as firstmate/co-skipper on a variety of luxury catamarans. My sailing started young with dinghy racing/teaching and seasonal racing on a 10m trimaran. This provided me with a lot of knowledge and experience in sailing, rigging, and spinnakers. Because of my background I have always been mechanically inclined, and quickly learned to maintain and fix on-board systems, whether mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or detailing.

By profession I'm an biochemist/bioengineer. IIT & Harvard Medical School educated. Hard worker, positive attitude, quick learner, good sense of humor, always excited about sailing! I have always been into active sports, rock climbing, cycling, yoga, etc... Previously I cycled across 12 countries. I'm a certified yoga teacher. I've also traveled to almost 75 countries. I speak English, Polish and a good amount of Spanish, great with logistics, and I like to cook tasty healthy food. I also do great photography/video work. I'm great with kids, and I'm also usually the best fisherman around!

My main priority on the boat is safety. Proper gear and proper attitude. Second for me is mutual respect and clear communication. Sprinkle in a little hard work and positive attitude and let's go where the winds will take us!
