Raised in a boating family in Newport Beach , California , Dave has been sailing and boating since his parents first pushed him off the beach in his Naples Sabot at age 6 . Since then he has been a competitive sailor and boating enthusiast for over 40 years .
Dave ’ s sailing accomplishments include multiple PHRF Championships on both coasts as helmsman and tactician , Etchell ’ s fleet championships on both coasts as tactician , and 8 Transpacs ( one with a record set ) and Pacific Cups . He is currently the tactician on a S . California Farr 40 , a Viper 640 , and an F18 Catamaran .
While Dave has raced sailboats most of his life , he didn ’ t begin working in the marine industry full time until he landed the sales and marketing manager position with the world ’ s premiere sailboat design house , Farr Yacht Design .
After a time there , he moved back to the west coast and became the general manager for the world ’ s 3rd largest Sea Ray dealer in Newport Beach , Newport Boats . They were also the Meridian , Atlantis , Polar Fishing Boats , and Azimut dealership as well as offering full mobile service . Dave distinguished himself by running their most profitable store and maintaining a CSI score of a perfect 10 for the last 14 months of his employment .
The downturn of 2009 ended his tenure there as most of the staff was laid off . Dave moved to another local broker , Long Beach Yacht Sales , and quickly became the # 1 salesperson . He was awarded Salesperson of the Year in 2010 for dollar volume and was second in units sold .
Toward the end of 2011 , Dave joined the Denison Yacht Sales team in our Marina del Rey , California location , where he has quickly added many quality listings and focuses on sales and listings in southern Los Angeles , Orange , and San Diego counties .
He has logged well over 250,000 miles navigating the world ’ s oceans and is ready to help you realize your boating dreams .
